HELP Engine Chirp Noise
02 Dyna Wide Glide
I started it right up like everyday before headed to work
but
There is a loud chirping noise. I can hear it well if i place my ear against the exhaust pipe (but not for to long, gets hot) where it connects to the head, front of the bike.
Ive read up and figured it can be from a bad lifter, bad cam shoe, chain tensioner
I was wondering if anyone else hasencountered this problem, bike has ran normally, no lose of power, no clunking or clanking noise, i have plenty of oil no exhaust leaks, motor mounts are tight.
again its like a chirping noise, and squeek as if something is rubbing or not lubricated

And ive read a few other posts, the chirp happens right when i fire it up, through idling, decel and accel, its just a constant. It has been running like a champ for years never an issue but the starter going out. im thinking lifters might be going bad or have a flat spot on them but i dont know for sure.....

57500 miles on the bike, never checked the tensioners, do i need to drain the oil to do so?
the whole pipes set up are maybe two years old as is.
so maybe when i take em off to check the tensioners i can check the baffle, and i believe the noise is loudest when i listen to the front pipe more than the back pipe

Im decent in my mechanics skills built engines for cars and what not, any special tools or ways to take off and replace tensioners? ive never had any issues with the bike so never learned much besides add ons and oil changes

I had a chirp on my front heat shield rubbing against the head, you can check that, but at 57k and an 02 , time to get those tensioners checked, you will lose couple of ounces, and that's it, just remove the 10 or so allen screws holding the cover on , put a pan under the bike to catch the couple ounces you will lose, check the front and rear tensioners, the rear is the most common to wear out.

So I don't have to drain the oil? Because I did a oil change two months ago haha
