Motorcycle Repair: oil blowing past air cleaner, dyna low rider, filter area


Question
why would oil be blowing past my air cleaner filter its a 2004 dyna low rider with 6200 miles about 1 month ago i checked air cleaner and it was in good shape, i noticed oil mist on chrome parts recently and checked air cleaner again and there was oil getting past filter what would cause this? How can i stop it?

Answer
Your heads are vented by the two bolts going into the heads close to the carb. At times a small mist of oil goes with the air and gets into the filter area. There are kits that you can get to vent the heads to the bottom end stoping hte problem
Good luck and happy riding
