What kind of engine noise does a Harley Davidson make?
A quality oil suited to the environmental conditions in which your bike is operated can greatly reduce the characteristic ticks and clatters. Many individuals will experience some form of piston slap in their Harley engines. This noise will often have a low-pitched metal to metal tapping sound as the piston rocks back and forth in the cylinder.
Why does my Dyna Glide make clacking noise?
The design automatically takes up slack, but it is not spring loaded to compensate for the uneven stretch you sometimes find in chains. A too tight adjuster can sound kind of like the clacka-clacka of a train going down the tracks. Running with a too tight primary chain for too long can lead to premature bearing failure.
Why does my Harley Davidson make a ticking noise?
Water jackets will hide a lot of that noise. The engines will be better but part of the ‘heart and sole’ will be gone. In the mean time, if we want quiet smooth rides we need to switch to competition’s machines, those ones that try so hard to imitate the real deal.
What makes the exhaust sound in a Toyota Camry?
Camry exhaust with flex pipe. The flex pipe can go bad and leak. It will make your car sound like a popcorn maker at best, an old tractor at the worst. The section of exhaust that the flex pipe is in includes a catalytic convertor. That is an expensive piece to replace and is hard to do so.

If you are hearing an engine noise, chances are it is emanating from the valvetrain. If your are hearing an abnormal clattering or ticking noise, chances are it is a lifter. The twin cam engine uses hydraulic lifters, which are able to compensate for heat expansion and normal valvetrain wear.
What happens if your twin cam engine makes noise?
This is perhaps the most costly failure on the twin cam engine, as it can basically trash all engine components, leaving you in need of an entire engine. Prompt action when you first notice the noise or vibration can prevent a catastrophic failure, but you are still looking at an costly bottom-end rebuild.
What kind of engine does a Harley Davidson have?
Harley engines have evolved over the years, but still remain true to their roots with a 45 degree air-cooled pushrod V-twin installed in Dyna models. Air-cooled engines lack water-jackets for cooling, so many noises that would traditionally be muffled are more audible.
Why does my Dyna Glide make a rattling noise?
Primary Drive. A distinctive rattling or clattering noise coming from the left side of the motorcycle is likely a problem in the primary drive. A very common problem that owners have experienced is the compensating sprocket nut/bolt backing off and rubbing against the outer primary cover.
