The other night I fitted se-211 cams that I got of a mate of mine that have only done 15000ks, fitted up the quick fit pushrods to spec (2.5 turns after 0 lash), started the bike and ran her in idle for a bit to make sure oil pressure was good etc, next day put her on a tow truck to get tuner put in from the dealer, all good runs sweet, heaps of balls, happy man. But now noticing on slight deceleration and just neutral cruising a slight ticking noise like a lifter or a leaking exhaust manifold gasket, is this noise common to a harley or should I look into it further?
Just been through a similar thing with my bike. Before you look at lifters it may well be the primary. I was a non believer until i tried the auto tighten and now no noise.
Sounds like you might be onto something, the bikes only done 300kms. I might take my mates softail for a big run and see if his does it.
Do you know how to ratchet the auto tensioner up? Your does have a auto/hydrolic tensioner?
Nah do you pull the primary off? I'm not sure what system it's running but do you think I should tackle it myself or take it back to the dealer for warranty? I reckon they will just say its normal and not to worry
mick you my just have a bit noiser top end with the cams installed, nothing more
as A side note I would be looking at replacing them C lifters in ya sled
