Just got a 98 softail flstc first bike. Have a little knowledge but not much. Went to laughlin about 180 miles from here and only put a total of about 230 miles on it. Bought from the harley dealership used. When going down the highway bike back fired and cut out. Would not start back up and the air filter had oil and a fuel mixture leaking from it. Had it towed to the dealership and just picked the bike back up. Now they said that i ran out of gas but i still had about 1 and a 1/2 gal left in it and that i should of put it on reserve, well i did but still did not start. When i went and picked up the bike theysaid the sparl plugs fouled and replaced and supposedly checked everything thoroughly. When i went and picked up the bike i had to drive about 100 miles home and the bike was not driving the same losing power and running rough. Pulled over once to check everything out but not smoking by the time i got home i had the same (EDIT) leak and it seems like the bike ran worse. What do i do in this situation. Do not wantt to bring it back to the dealership because of there lack of knowledge but i just bought the bike from them and do they not look at the bike whether it is preowned and go through it before they sell it to a customer to make sure everything is in good working order. By the way also had a ligth problem, fixed and had to replace the battery as soon as i got it. Please help.......
