Its all relative. Yes these motors are pretty noisy, however if its a loud ticking or knocking noise i would say its not normal.
Get us a video and we can get a better idea.
Harley built motors make a lot of "chatter", so that's normal.
If you're hearing heavy knocks then you have issues.
its not really a knock..more like sounds of noisy push rods..will take video tonight..thanks guys
look up videos on youtube and you should be able to get a reference for normal noise
If your not using synthetic, try it. I had conventional and I had a chirpy tap, I put in some mobile 1 synthetic v-twin and it cut the noise ALOT.
ya she has mobil 1 in her as well..this bike only has 5k on it, not sure if i should even worry about it..cause it runs very good
I have the same noise. Got my bike at about 5k now i am over 15k same noise still same beast. Just maintain your oil and keep synthetic in it and should be good. If noise gets louder or changes to a knock instead of the chirpy noise than worry. Otherwise Ride on.
