Harley Intake Leak
A: Yes. Fuel filter is a logical thought. First, however, we would suggest checking for a Harley intake leak. While your bike is idling, mist the area around your intake flanges with brake clean. If your idle fluctuates (or if bike races; or stalls completely ) you should replace your intake seals.

I have a 2013 streetglide with a 103. I am having an issue with my air cleaner getting excessive oil into my air cleaner. I have the HD stage one on it. Washed and cleaned K&N air cleaned, about 200 miles later it’s dripping oil at bottom of air cleaner? What can I do?
Your motor “breathes’ or vents, directly into your air cleaner element. Your 103 may breath heavier than others, but that doesn’t necessary mean that anything is wrong or that it’s time to tear down your motor and go looking for a problem. We often vent our top breathing motors to the ground. You may need to find a combination of hardware to do so: but it completely eliminates the problem you are experiencing. What you will need to do with this, depends on what you are running for an air cleaner assembly.
I am wondering what you are doing in 2nd gear at 5 – 15 mph? That is first gear speeds Sounds like you could be lugging and you could be fouling your plugs. Read your manual and see what speed you should be at in first gear before you shift. If you have a tach you should shift at about 2000 – 2500 rpm.
