I'm already hearing that the new twin cooled bikes are leaking coolant already after only 1K miles. Not just a few, but several. Moco is already aware of this problem.
Sounds like this new motor will be dubbed "showerhead" :D
But this is not a joke, it really is leaking already. Glad I decided to wait on getting one.
 
I know the local dealership installed the coolant jug wrong and created a leak. Hopefully, it's a learning curve for the dealers and not a faulty design from the MoCo.
 
MY Guess......

Too much heat around the exhaust valve and boiling the liquid to make High Pressure STEAM....... Blowing the gasket on the water jacket....

I figured this by looking at the design earlier before this problem Reared it's Ugly Head...:newsmile077:

NOW, I'm just guessing here...

Your turn......:D

If it didn't leak, how would you know it was a Harley? My prediction is that it's only a first year bug and will go away quickly.

Would I want one after the problem is solved? Probably not. I like my bike too much to trade it in.

Cheers!
