Hey guys I seem to get a rattle noise some time when I wind back my throttle happens more when in 5 /6th gear on my 2013 fat boy Lo don't think it anything serious sounds like it coming from engine area but hard to tell any ideas??
Been reading a bit about the rocker bolts causing a rattle, Hence Rocker Lockers and the other brand someone mentioned on a thread here recently. Perhaps do a Google search and see if symptoms match what you have. Good luck
When are you in sixth gear or even fifth? I cruise at 100 kph in 4th, keep the bike in the torque curve mate, so many Harley riders do not know how to ride, cruising around at 60 in fifth, fucken retards, then they get on here asking all sorts of stupid questions. I saw one yesterday asking how to wash the fucken thing, fuck me!
exhaust heat shield clamps, play in shifter linkage, fuel cap maybe loose?
Yeah mate, just joking.
Actually I'm jealous as buggery, would love that bike in my shed.
I hope Damien sorted the rattle out.
Roo. :-)
Could well be the compensater or the primary chain. Quick fix for the primary chain is to ride slowly in first gear, back off the throttle then full throttle. This allows the primary to get slack under de-acceleration and ratchet its self up to the next tooth on the Auto adjuster. As for the compensater sadlt its a replace job if its worn. Lastly riding around in 6th gear at lower speeds 80kph and lower is a sure way to get that primary slapping around in the case. These big motors dont mind a few extra revs. Hope this helps, if your not sure what i mean please feel free to PM me.
A lot of people cant read funny or sarcasm.
