 Description of the problemI was riding the motorcycle on a rural road and was trying to speed up. Noticed bike had lost all power and felt like i was running into a 100mph wind at 60 mph. Check ingine light came on info button said low oil. It was full of oil 20 miles prior when i took off. I pulled over in a very unsafe area with 18 wheelers flying by at 60+ mph and checked the oil there was barely any on the dipstick. All the oil was pumped into the crank case and not back to the oil pan bogging down the motor potentially burning up the engine and absolutely putting my life in harm's way, especially in an unsafe area. This problem called "sumping" is absolutely an unsafe condition to the rider, the engine of a $30,000 motorcycle and potentially a passenger as well. Harley davidson is aware of the problem but chooses to only fix the bikes on an "as needed" basis instead of a preventative fix to try and keep peoples lives safe. Please help us, the riders, our passengers and property safe. Thank you for your help [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
