I have to side with Cisco on this one. You state your bike is a 2014 so why you were doing anything to it is beyond me with it being under warranty. Secondly, a manual is your best friend no matter what and obviously you aren't familiar with doing any kind of maintenance on your bike so, in truth, you can only blame yourself when you screw something up and someone points it out to you. Third, it's bad forum etiquette to just come on here and ask a question right from the get go and it tends to irritate most of the people on here. Usually the polite thing to do is to introduce yourself first so we know you aren't going to be a one hit wonder on the forum like so many before you.
Now, on to the question. Lock tite will be fine and just make sure you put it back in straight and snug. There is always the opportunity to crack cases no matter what so just be careful and don't over do it. And we hope to see you back on the forum as a contributing member. Cheers

Rohan, you are obviously entitled to your opinions, and I will concede on the etiquette however I'm in the car on my phone attempting to address my problem.
My first statement of "I screwed up" means that I didn't do something properly and a such I am aware that I should have educated myself.
In my opinion proper form etiquette would be to help with the question while giving your opinion as you did not tell me what I should have done.
As for warranty, I am leaving on a bike trip and needed my oil changed before I left I was only servicing the engine oil not the primary or trans for this trip and as such looking under there thought it was obvious which it wasn't.
I have ridden bikes my whole life which is more than 40 years but this is my first Harley so lesson learned.
To introductions, Hi, my name is Ian, I live in Lexington KY and I'm new to this forum although I belong to several other of the common ones. This one was accessible by an app in my time of need and appears will be good information.
I do appreciate all the help for responses
