05 Ultra Classic Fuel Injected, blows oil out air cleaner.

Even though the oil level is fine, it wants to spit out about a quart of oil when hot.

SOURCE: 2002 Harley Ultra Classic backfires

Sounds like the previous owner didn't get the cpu remapped, Take it to a Harley dealer and have him check the exhaust mapping on the cpu, Shouldn't cost much or if you want get them to fully service it so that way you will know were your at with it and will have a reference point to start with or service and maintenance reasons (and re-sale value) Hope this helps

SOURCE: How do I change the front and rear brakes on a

Not too hard - Undo the two bolts on the caliper and then seperate the caliper and pull the old ones out. Insert the new ones and put the bolts back in to hold the caliper back together and then install them back on the bike with the two retaining bolts. Use a bit of lock tight (Blue) on the threads. Warning do not let anyone apply pressure on the brakes while you have them off the bike or you will have a mess and/or a problem.

SOURCE: oil blowing out through air-filter,rough

Your '98 Evo motor is what they call a "head breater" engine. This means that the crankcase ventilation is at the upper end of the heads rather than way down at the lower end of the engine like it used to be. They the first year for the "head breaters" was 1994.

Now, At the top of the heads where the rocker boxes are, there are three pieces. The lower rocker plate with the rocker arms in it, the middle piece and the upper cover. If you take the four bolts out, you'll see an umbrella valve in the middle piece of the rocker boxes. This valve is a replacable rubber piece. Over time and many times of heating up and cooling down, they can get brittle and allow a lot of blowby resulting in oil in your air filter element.

Now there is another part in the cam chest that has a lot of effect on the operation of the crankcase breather system on your bike. This part is called the "breather gear" and is located down in the cam chest to the rear of the camshaft. In you bike, the part is made of plastic if it's the original part. I have seen the teeth break off of the drive gear and the breather gear stop turning. This will screw up the "breathing cycle" on your engine and cause it to "blow oil". Usually, the oil pump locks up when this happens due to the plastic teeth getting in the oil pump but not always. If this eventually turns out to be your problem, have the mechanic or yourself install one of the new S&S reed valve type breather gear replacements. They don't turn at all and work absolutely great. The part is about a hundred dollars but it's well worth it. Solves the old broken breather gear problem that has plauged the Evo engine it's entire life.

There are no "screens" in the Evo engine other than the "tappet oil screen". Just in front of the oil pump is a screw plug that is in the engine cases itself. If you remove this plug, there is a small spring and cone shaped screen that filters the oil prior to it going to your tappets. This should be cleaned every other oil change but it has nothing to do with the oil in your breather.

Now some riders will tell you that if you allow your Harley to sit for any length of time that it will "oil sump" with you. By this, they mean that oil will seep past the check ball in your oil pump and pool up in your crankcase. When you start the engine up, oil will be blown into your oil filter. Not true on your Ultra. The bikes that will oil sump are the Sportsters, Softails, Shovelheads, or any bike that the oil tank is higher than the oil pump on the frame. On your Ultra, the oil tank is on the bottom of the transmission. Your bike will not "oil sump" unless you have a sheared key in your oil pump or the oil has somehow learned how climb. You oil tank is below your pump in other words and oil does not flow uphill.

Will not idle when hot

On fuel injected models there are cold and warm mixture screws similar to that for a carburetor.
The manual states it nees to be adjusted WHEN WARM.
I know from past experience on an 01 Electra Glide I owned the screws were behind the air cleaner.

You will have to remove the air cleaner and I believe the plate holding the cleaner to access these adjusting screws.

FIRST AND FOREMOST..the manual states Hundred Dollars..oops I mean Harley Davidson must perform this job using a scanalyzer tool.

My theory is if it isn't running right now, and you are going to have to take it to the shop anyway, why not try a minor adjustment while the bike is hot. Hey, it worked me.

I hope this helps.
Good Luck and God Speed.

Bike began running rough so I changed the oil, cleaned the K&N air filter and now the 2003 FatBoy Fuel Injected, dies after about 20 seconds of idling and is gurgling and spitting massive amounts of...

"Oh, and now I can\'t even read the oil level on my dipstick due to the fact it is significantly LOW" This is not a good sign. Now, my expertise is NOT on the Twin Cam bikes but I do try to help when I can. In your case, if your engine were an earleir Evolution or Shovelhead engine, I'd say that you had sheared a scavenge gear drive key in the oil pump. Now, I do not know a thing about the oil pump in a Twin Cam as I've never worked on one. It sounds like your oil pump is not scavenging (sucking) the oil out of the engine and pumping it back to the oil tank. Once the pump pumps the oil into the engine, it stays there. Thats why you're seen the "massive amounts of oil spitting out of the little hoses behind the air cleaner". Take your bike to a dealer or qualified shop as soon as possible and I'd refrain from running it. An engine full of oil would also expain why the engine does not want to run as well.

Good Luck

Oil capacity for 2000 HD FLH

I'm pretty sure it's three quarts. However, the bike is equipped with an oil dipstick. Change the oil and add three quarts of oil. Check the oil level with the dipstick while it's on the sidestand. There are two marks on the dipstick, the upper mark is "FULL HOT", and the lower mark is "FULL COLD". Keep the oil level between the two lines by checking the oil level when the oil is hot. Do not overfill.

2000 FLSTC Heritage Softail Classic: 2001 heritage is blowing oil through breather.why?...

All Harleys after the year 1992 will have some engine oil carry over visible in the air cleaner though there is a diffrence between excessive and normal although if you get on your bike and travel down the highway at a constant 80+ MPH you will find that you get more carry over to the air cleaner then you would normally riding at lower speeds and this is simply cause you are running the engine harder and therefore you will see more carry over at the air cleaner. Now to be sure, make sure your bike is sitting on level pavement and in the case of a Softtail model it should also be upright and level pull the dipstick from the oil tank and wipe it clean, reinsert fully into the oil tank and remove it again and look to see if your oil level is roughly halfway between the check marks on the dipstick. If so then yes your oil level is good. I would now remove the air cleaner cover and wash any excess oil out of it and if your running a stock air filter and you have had a oil carry over issue for awhile now, then replace the air filter, reinstall the air cleaner cover and go ride the bike for around 50 miles and by ride the bike I mean go ride it like in town and on the highway without being abusive to it or excessive speeds(70 mph). Then remove your air cleaner cover again after your test ride and look to see if you have any oil carry over in the air cleaner. if so let me know and we can go into further detail.
