A gal friend of mine has a 2007 softtail.....
she told me how the oil dip-stick has blown loose and gotten oil all over bike...( saying this has happened a couple of times before)
I asked how much over full on oil she was.. she thought none but I SUSPECT
I wasn't there when this occured nor to see how much oil came out but i think she MUST OF been over full cause when I checked her level after a ride today, it was right on the hot full mark...I DO THINK HER OIL LEVEL WAS TOO HIGH AS NONE NEEDED TO BE ADDED....
ANY OF YOU with a softtail have or had this problem? also HOW MUCH OIL OVER FULL would it take to cause dipstick to blow loose....
I know the oil sumps sometimes after sitting as it does on my sportster ,,,, showing LOW oil level COLD when actually full....... I know to check the oil level AFTER ran n warmed some... To get the proper level after oil has pumped back up into tank...
We know the level is correct now (today) , so i suggested a WAIT N SEE if it will happen again....
ALSO her stage ONE was done by the HD shop..... still very lean with some poping and feels to run hot... I suggested the DOBECK TFI... I use it on my 09 FLHR stage one with good results...
I've heard 07's run hotter than the newer ones...
ANY THOUGHTS PLEASE?? THANKS!
