Hi everyone, pleasure to be part of the family!
I recently bought a 2017 Street Glide Special. It runs great, is super clean, and has plenty of upgrades. All good, I tried it and I handed the seller the cash and started riding home, but as soon I arrived home I noticed oil starting to come out. Not a huge amount—there are no puddles or leaks on the ground—but enough to catch my attention.
When I got home, I found what you see in the picture, along with some oil splashed on the left saddlebag.
Tomorrow I'm taking it to a friend to have it checked out, but I'd also like to learn more about this great engine myself. Any ideas on where I should start looking?
