I bought a 2010 fatboy lo in April, 1st day I had it the rear brake locked up had to take it back to the dealership to get it fixed and it was covered by the warranty. two weeks ago took my bike in for the 1000 mile checkup, had everything changed to synthetic, when I got home from riding it back from the dealership noticed a lot of oil specks all over the bike on both sides and the front lower part and the horn cover with oil on it, my first thought was they just did a poor job of cleaning, I know if too much oil is added it can come out the air filter, so that was in the back of my mind as well, or maybe something was not tightened. So I wiped the bike down real good so no specks was showing and took it for a test ride around the block came home and it was still clean, parked it on papertowels to see if any oil was leaking and not a drip, with all the rain couldn't ride for the last 2 weeks and finally this week took it to work. During my break walked out to the bike and noticed the flecks back on the bike, not as bad as riding back from the dealership, but a pretty good size oil drop was on my exhaust pipe directly under the oil filler cap. Rode home and took it out of the garage today to wipe it down, other than the oil drop stain was a few specks on the air filter, but when I got too the left side of the bike the horn cover had a pretty good amount of oily film on it, looked like maybe it had dripped oil probally while i was at work, so I wiped everything down again, saw no visible oil leaks, and down under the filter it was oily again. I've only rode the bike 100 miles since the service, So I called the dealership and will have to take it in next week due to my work schedule, they said they will give it a good checkup, I told him I was thinking too much oil had been added but he said it sounds like my rockerbox is broke since the left side of the bike is getting oil on it and he said its covered by warranty as well if thats the problem. This is my first Harley and second problem with only 1400 miles on the bike, my old bike (now its my wifes bike (Honda) whick is 4 yrs old has yet to have a single problem. Can I expect problems to continue like this? I really love the bike and its hard to even try to ride my other bike as it seems like its a playtoy. Also any idea how a rockerbox gets broke? he said its a seal and he has them in stock. Thanks for reading this and for any replies I receive.
