Hoping someone can shed some light on my situation. So I was dumb dumb, got complacent and put 6 quarts of oil in the 5 quart 2013 V rod. I don't know why, but i was thinking 6 quarts is what is how much i used last time. Anyways. All was working fine, till shifting into 5th gear down the highway and bike just stopped and i coasted into a gas station. Would not restart, Would crank and do the Poof Poof Poof sound, but not start. I checked to see if the engine was overheating and actually wasn't hot at all, i could even touch it barehanded (only been running about 5 mins or so from the house). I opened the air box, there was oil soaked on the filter and didn't take long to realize that i overfilled it by a quart.:banghead: Had to get a tow.
So what i have done since then:
-I used an oil syringe to remove the boneheaded extra quart from the fill port.
-Drained both breather tubes front and rear going to cam covers. I cleaned and rinsed the filter (k n high flow is able to just be rinsed).
-Changed the spark plugs with NGK (6546) DCPR8EIX (bike has 10k miles and manual says it was do, so i did it to illuminate any doubts). And no the old ones had no sign of oil on them. But did look pretty well used up.
Still does not start, just cranks poof poof poof, and no turn over. I am hoping i didn't do any serious damage and its just something i am missing. Anyways, Can some one maybe enlighten me what might be happening. Thanks.
