Hey guys
My little brother has a 2010 883 Iron that he bought back in June. I just came home for the weekend and noticed that both of the heads were weeping up at the top of the engine. Not a leak but noticeably weeping. It looks like its around the head gasket. I told him to take it to the shop (its still under warranty) on Monday. Anyone know if a little weeping is normal on these sportsters? To me, this is unacceptable but I am far from an HD expert.
This will be the third problem we have had with this bike. The first was the day after we brought it home we discovered the battery was already done for- it would not hold a charge. They almost didnt give me a new battery when I took it in because they dont cover batteries in the warranty, but it was obvious they had given us a bad one from the dealership. The second problem was a leaking shifter seal, which they fixed with no problems asked.
Im hoping that its maybe normal because he is pretty pissed off. I suggested he sell the damn thing before its out of warranty but that really made him mad lol.
