Why does my Honda Dyna make a clunking noise?
This is actually pretty normal. The Dyna and many others will make a clunk as power from the motor first meets the resistance of moving a big heavy bike. If the noise gets louder and the shifting gets a bit clunky as well, you may due for a primary, or transmission oil change; otherwise, a clunking noise is normal. Figure 1.
Why is my shift rod not working on my Dyna Glide?
The shift rod may be bent or have become loose. If you can no longer shift and the problem isn’t with the clutch, there may be issues with the shift rod or shift arm itself.

Why does my Harley Davidson Dyna Glide make a ticking noise?
The lifters should pump up with oil as oil pressure builds and the noise should go away after the bike has run a bit. If ticking lifters persist at all times, Harley suggest that the oil pressure be checked while the bike is running. Excessively high or excessively low oil pressure has been known to cause lifter problems.
