Why does Harley make noise?
Harley’s engine is designed in the shape of a V and the crankshaft has only one pin, attached to both pistons. That means that both spark plugs fire simultaneously and there is a brief pause after the second fire, instead of firing at even intervals. This also accounts for the popping noises a Harley makes at idle.
Where does the noise come from on a Harley Davidson?
If a suspension change were to cause a rubbing or a load on a part. It would be constant or, intermittence would be based on load. This makes noise only in first gear, only when decelerating (engine braking). This noise is coming from the Primary, probably the primary chain or possibly the clutch or trans.
Why is my primary chain making a rattling noise?
By doing this, the automatic primary chain will ratchet up a bit tighter if it was loose before this. The acceleration and braking causes slack in the lower strand of the chain and will ratchet it up tighter if it needed an adjustment. If it wasn’t loose there will be no noted difference.
What kind of noise does a 14 ultra make?
Some transmissions are noisy (er) than others. My 14 Ultra is inherently noisy. It has that tranny whine along with the extra sounds of the twin cam. The sound her sporty was making was much more pronounced and seemed to happen only when engine breaking, only in first gear.. Those limiting factors are what alerted me to investigate.

Why does my rear drive belt make a squeal sound?
The squeal is from the rear belt as it rubs on the side of the rear pulley.I have tried to keep the belt aligned to the left like the manual says. but always just touches the right side. Maybe with the torque the axle moves slightly even with the axle nut tight. When I readjust it the noise is gone.

When does the bike make the worst noise?
Noise is worst when in gear and pulling through throttle range. No noise when clutch is engaged or bike is in neutral and bike is not pulling, no noise when I back off of throttle and coast.
