    nope

    You might have slightly overfilled or it doesn't like the amsoil

    V ducker No , rpm change maybe if your running a bit higher it can cause a little pressure to build & release & a little oil can get mixed in it

    Just curious as to why it would just out of the blue do that? I had probably 500 miles on the amsoil and never did that. I would think that if I overfilled it, even slightly that I would have had that happen sooner?

    Update!!!

    I figured out what that hose is for that I have been asking about.. It is the primary and transmission breather hose. It probably just foamed up a little and spewed. I guess I am not worried about this at all. Since this is all it is, I am not going to bother changing any lines as it is not needed to do so. I will however in the future change just the two that I can see. (Feed and Return from the oil pump). :cool:

    Yes when I was talking oil I mean Trans fluid.

    If you don't have one that can withstand the pressure
    and heat that will happen on hot days, and it it has a little
    too much oil..

    If the oil type is correct, drain out a few oz of oil

    well, my ride is back together and about ready to go. This was an interesting learning experience about my scooter and how it works. Could have been a little easier though if someone would have gotten the crap out of his mouth and been a little more clear, but hey, then I would have missed out on the true learning part of it.

    Hey FLHT, you should be proud of me..........I put a battery tender on. :D

    I think there is something wrong with the charging system. When we were in WI with it and after Red had to push start it, I rode behind her in case something happened, I noticed that her tail light was flickering badly. It got better for a little while but then when we were near home it started to act up again. This time the tail light was flickering worse than before. Did the same thing when we were bringing it to the shop thinking that it was just the battery. Can't be the battery IMO because if the battery was bad it most likely would have lost power and not able to charge. Now if the charging system if going out, it could charge just enough to keep it running. Blinking tail lights is my evidence..... Just a thought.

    Not sure if a raw wire would cause it to stall though. It is difficult to explain as I was not the one riding it. HR had also said that it was hesitating really badly on the way to the shop. That indicates to me a charging issue of some sort.

    Well, I woke up this morning and went outside to see if my ride was leaking.. It wasn't, so I think that I can relax a little now. :D
