2019 Electra Glide Standaerd Oil Puking

[WhipLash96]

As said in the title, I have a friend who has a 2019 Electra Glide Standard that started Puking oil. I don't remember for sure what the fix for this issue is. IIRC, didn't HD create a process with a template to drill a vent hole in the primary? Thanks In Advance.

Puking oil from the breathers is likely sumping, suggesting an upgrade to the 2020 oil pump for the fix. Part numbers are 62400247 for oil cooled models, 62400248 for twin cooled models. M1450
The vent in the primary was to address trans fluid transfer to the primary.  M1492

Has anything been done to the motor?

Stock engine.

So, I was talking with my buddy about this problem and he had said that a head gasket is causing his issue?

I have never heard of that before. Is this possible?

I've seen a head gasket failure, but not on stock M8 engines. Blown head gasket wouldn't cause sumping, IMO.

Yet another easy fix for this problem was to reduce the amount of motor oil installed. Some guys overdo the 'lube using the more is better rule. T'ain't always so.
There's ample information from some of the more astute members here on HTT regarding safe amounts (dipstick levels) to aim for.

But drilling a new hole is another way, certainly.
Your (his) call.

I guess it's hard for me to believe that a blown head gasket would cause his bike to puke oil. When he bought this bike I told him to expect this issue to happen somewhere along the trough. His bike, his issue to figure out. Agreed on the above commentary about sumping. Yes, an additional vent hole will help.

I have a 2019 Street Glide special that did have a rear head gasket go bad and leak.  I wouldn't classify it as "puking oil", but it was a messy oil leak.  My dealer replaced under warranty and said it was a recurring issue and the head gaskets had been "improved".  After replacing it, I have had no further issues with oil leaks.

Where is it "puking" oil from?

Puking oil out the breather bolts is a sign of poor crankcase breathing building pressure and/or blow by from poor ring seal. Poor ring seal is a side effect of poor crankcase breathing. It's a vicious circ!e.
Running a ha!f quart low on oil is not a fix. It's a bandaid masking the real problem.
oil not draining from the heads is going cause it to get carried out with the crankcase fumes.
The moco has a poor track record when it comes to oil pumps and crankcase breathing.
