What breaks first and where.
Crankcase breather port may be blocked — recall 26V270
SeriousRareA blocked air-cleaner-backplate breather port can allow crankcase pressure to build. Removing the oil dipstick while the system is pressurised may eject hot oil and cause injury.
Symptoms
- Oil mist, leakage or unusual pressure at the dipstick or oil-fill area
- Dipstick difficult to remove or forceful pressure release
Field repairableNo — Do not remove the dipstick from a hot or suspect pressurised engine. Check the VIN recall status and have a Harley-Davidson dealer inspect and repair the breather port free of charge.
Where to find things
Common locations for jacks, filters, fluids and fuse boxes. Follow the reference link when a picture helps more than words.
Engine oil fill
Engine-oil filler plug and dipstick are on the powertrain and are used for the upright hot-level check.
ReferenceBrake fluid reservoir
Front reservoir sight glass is at the handlebar master cylinder; rear reservoir is beside the rear brake system. Both must remain above their minimum marks.
ReferenceBattery
Battery is accessed after seat removal; model equipment around the battery must be moved in the owner-manual sequence.
