Consumer Description

An TSB was issued M1681, was sent to dealers on 09JUN25 and suppose to start sending out to owners on 16JUN25. Statea that certain Softail models were overfilled at factory and can cause exhaust smoke. This incident happened to me on 12JUN25, while riding my motorcycle, white smoke engulfed my bike, oil was atomizing and coming out of the breather tubes and went all over bike and tires and myself while riding at 65MPH. Smoke was so thick, I could not see cars behind me and oil caused some redneas on my legs as it went on my pants and all over bike. Bike was picked up by Waco HD where I bought it and they thought my engine had serious damage because amount of oil that was on bike. This is a more dangerous then what the TSB says with only saying smoke out the exhaust. It seems as though bike had almost a full quart extra from factory and when pressure builds up the oil is pushed into intake and out intake. This can blow seals and cause major damage as well as blow oil all over rider and motorcycle. Yes my bike was fixed on Saturday 15JUN25, but this is way more dangerous then a TSB, a recall to have oil removed and states 12 ounces for fix.
