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.
Are there any problems with the Harley Davidson clutch?
This recall involved problems with the clutch system which won’t fully disengage. In the report, Harley-Davidson said this is the result of gas bubbles in the master cylinder clutch. If you’re considering these models, check with the dealer to make sure that the clutch got flushed or the master cylinder got rebuilt.
How often does a Harley Davidson engine fail?
This metal-to-metal contact promotes engine failures which can be dangerous to you and your bike. This problem can occur anywhere from 15,000 to 75,000 miles depending on the severity. The only way to truly avoid this problem is to completely swap out the chain system for a gear-driven system.

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.

Why does my Harley Davidson have a vibration problem?
I have a vibration problem that occurs when I release the throttle to slow down or come to a stop. At a certain rpm it vibrates so bad it sounds as if the fairing and tourpak are going to fall off. The vibration has already ruined the front motor mount which I replaced.
What does it mean when your motorcycle makes weird noises?
If odd new noises, sounds or vibrations are afoot, something probably is wrong, and in quite a number of cases, those sounds may be a warning. While a brand new motorcycle may sound the alarm with the same kind of odd sounds, these noises may be more likely to occur if you ride a vintage or high-mileage motorcycle.
Why does my Harley Davidson make a whine when I let off the gas?
Hmmm I have always noticed just a slight whine when I let off the gas (even before I put in 90 Severe Gear in the trans) course I don’t know what was in the bike when I bought it. Previous owner just told me he used full synthetic.
What causes engine noise in Harley Davidson Dyna Glide?
If you haven’t figured it out yet, a twisted or slipped crank is a serious issue. The twisted crankshaft often occurs after engine performance modifications; however, aggressive acceleration, deceleration, and high revving burnouts with stock motors have been known to cause the issue as well.
What makes a Harley Davidson twin cam engine make noise?
Often referred to as the ‘Achilles Heel’ of the Twin Cam engine are the spring loaded cam chain tensioners on pre-2007 models. At one time, Harley had used gear driven cams, but to cut down on noise, reverted to a silent timing chain setup as used in many car engines.
What does wine down sound like on a Harley Davidson?
I guess that’s the redline. The wine down actually sounds pretty cool, like a drag car letting off at the end. But I don’t know if that’s a good thing.
Why does my Harley Davidson make a ticking noise?
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 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 serpentine belt make a squealing noise?
Here are five of the most common reasons your serpentine belt is making noise when cold or accelerating. 1) Bad or Worn Tensioner The serpentine belt is given the proper amount of tension by a device called a drive belt tensioner. The tensioner is basically a pulley connected to an adjustable pivot.

Why does my Plymouth Sundance squeal at start up?
I had a ’90 Plymouth Sundance that squealed at start-up, used Zest soap bar and squeal went away. BE ULTRA CAREFUL when applying soap bar to belts with engine idling. The belt dressing is messy, glue all over the place. What if it’s more of a high pitched grinding noise? Could that be the same thing? I’ve noticed that lately on my 96 Maxima.
Why does my car squeal when I start the car?
I forgot about a squeal coming from a bad clutch fan, the part that the fan blades mount to the water bump. It is a fluid coupling that engages and disengages the fan blades based on temp, it helps out fuel economy. These are many times overlooked by even the most experienced mechanics.
Why does my motorbike engine make a noise when I start it?
Start out by listening at different points around the engine, like the cylinder head valve caps, or the camchain tensioner mechanism. An engine will often sound noisy on start-up because components aren’t under load, the engine is cold and the oil hasn’t warmed up and started circulating freely.
Why does my motorcycle chain make weird noises?
Lubrication of the chain may make the sound diminish or even disappear, but it may be a harbinger of early chain failure, even after it is silenced by lubrication. The second instance this sound may occur in is when links literally get a kink in them, usually indicating a severe wear condition.
Why is my primary chain making a noise?
Do this 2-3 times in succession and you’ll notice that the noise that you thought was the valve train is almost completely gone now. Low speed riding is a bit smoother also due to less play in the chain. By doing this, the automatic primary chain will ratchet up a bit tighter if it was loose before this.
Why is my motorcycle engine making strange noises?
Troubleshooting motorcycle mechanical issues is usually pretty simple because of the low complexity level motorcycles have compared to other vehicles. A lot of these fixes are doable by the owners themselves. But what about strange sounds coming from the engine?
Are there any known problems with the Honda ST1300?
Like the seat. The first three are the most common, #1 & #2 are, 8 years into the production of the bike, inexcusable from Honda. #2 wouldn’t actually be that big of a deal, except that to restore functionality when the $5 plastic worm gear strips, you have to replace the entire mechanism at a cost upwards of $400!!!
Why does my bike make a strange noise when I rotate the wheel?
In this case, it may be present very noticeably when the bike is first being moved around or the rear wheel is rotated on the center stand. Lubrication of the chain may make the sound diminish or even disappear, but it may be a harbinger of early chain failure, even after it is silenced by lubrication.
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.
Is there a leak in the primary on a Harley Davidson?
But the bike has zero signs of a leak anywhere and i did check the fluid level in the primary within a day or two of purchasing it and it shifts smooth as glass, even finding neutral is spot on, every time. The thought of gear whine did occur to me however, my lack of experience with Sportsters is the reason i made the post.
Why do I hear a growl when I shut down my Harley?
If you hear a “growl” as the engine comes to a stop at shut down, you probably need a new inner primary bearing also. I believe that the inner primary bearing is also damaged by the compensator slamming against its stop. Wish it was better, less expensive news, but many have had the symptoms you describe and the above is the fix.

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.
What to do if your Harley Davidson is rattling?
Check all the trim, from the Harley emblem on the side, to the tank console, to the chrome strips along the fenders. Wiggle each piece of trim and tap on it. If you can’t follow the noise because the bike is too loud, you will have to try to move all the trim pieces by hand to see if any of them are loose and tapping against the body.
