Hi guys I have a Heritage 2012 with stage 1 kit everytime i clean the K & N air filter I find a bit of engine oil sitting in the bottom of it what can course this, I have had it since new it has done 50,000 ks

Thanks Jim

That's because it's flucked and due for retirement I'll give 7k for it if you pay for the transfer aswell and I will split the
Transport costs to get it to wa lol re route the oil breather hose to below the engine have look around this place you will find a
The way the other tc boys do there's I think ando did a thread with pics of what he does a few years back look in the softail or dyna section

You'll find from a multitude of forums it's pretty common in small amounts. Some blokes reroute their vent lines to the ground and one genius grabbed one of his Mrs Tampons and put it in his air cleaner. LOL
In saying that; if it is flowing out heavily you prolly have more serious issues. In 5,000kms I have only ever had to wipe out a couple ml.

The op should google search on harley engine crank case breathing. They all do it and it's normal. Some do.it more than others and some air cleaners collect more oil than others due to design. Tends to happen more with long.fast highway riding. If it's doing it a heap it could be blow back. Use external Breather hoses or bolts to vent it back out.

Ok thanks guys its normal by the responds it only has a little oil in there thanks again

How about you change all the o rings on the crank vent tubes that take the gasses from the head to the air cleaner. Usually fixes the problem. If they have never been done , that is probably what is causing it. Easy job. These tubes also hold the air cleaner mount to the heads. Just so you know where they are.

And by the way, it is only normal if the o rings are fucked.. And don't worry they will look ok.. Replace them anyway

vent bolts are good, just don't wear good jeans or if you flog the bike might have a nice spray pattern up your right leg

Make sure the oil level isn't too full, half way up the dipstick good starting point.
