2008 street glide gas cap

Does anyone know if the gas cap on the 2008 Street Glide is vented? When its warm out and the tank is half to quarter tank I get fuel dripping out the the overflow tube. Do you think the vent is stuck on the gas cap? I tried to blow into the cap but nothing, no venting sounds. Do you think the vent is stuck on the cap and the pressure is forcing fumes and gas drips out of the overflow tube?

Yes it is a vented cap which is stuck in the closed position. Get a new cap and you will solve your problem

Street glide

Use the key that you have for the bike. If you dont have the key you can use any barrel key to unlock the door cover on the tank. If you bought the bike used they may have added the keyless accessory just push the center of the lock and unscrew it like a vehicle gas cap.

Dose anyone know if they had starter problems with the 2008 street glides??

is it turning over and just not starting. If so try cleaning your carbs, more importantly, pull your jets and give them a good cleaning. If your running gas with ethenol, over a relatively short time it will clog your jets up

Where is the oil drain plug for the 2008 FLHX street glide

I'm not really familiar with the Street Glide but usually on the "Glide" models, the oil tank is on the bottom of the transmission. There are usually two drain plugs on the bottom of the pan. The drain closest to the left front corner is the engine oil drain. The one nearest the center is the transmission.

Good Luck

2007 Street Glide shuts off between 4 - 10 miles into ride. Will start back up after a few seconds and run fine. Dealer unable to find any cause.

i may be wrong but it sounds alot like a fuel tank venting problem,this may be blocked or not letting enough air into the tank to replace the fuel you have used,this causes a vacuum and the fuel cant flow from the tank to the carbs,after you stop the suction will stop ,letting the fuel flow back to the carbs,check this and see how you go,(i had similar problem on my katana,i just popped the gas cap and problem went away) i later found the vent to be blocked....hope this helps

Does anyone know how to program the keyless remote for a 2008 harley davidson street glide please help

The HD alarm is REALLY complicated. 10 pages in the manual. I'd have the dealer order you an owner's manual for about $20. If you just can't start the bike, one long push on the remote sets it and 2 quick clicks turn it off.
