Bumping feeling
This is my first HD so I figured I better ask. When slowing down after pulling in the clutch I feel what I describe as the enging bumping the frame feeling. It goes away when I stop and doesn't do it when riding. Also when riding 2 up, I notice it more.
Is this normal for an unbalanced engine?
Thanks for the input.

RE: Bumping feeling
If you find out please repost as I have the same sound. Didnt notice it till after the 1000mi. service. Seems more pronounced after bike is warmed up. I thought it was the cheap HD oil I put in the tranfer case. I will be switching to gear oil next service.

RE: Bumping feeling
I reported the same thing when I had my 1,000 mi service done. They rode it, felt it, said it was normal for 07 Dynas. Anyone hears different, I'd like to know.
Seems I hear it more when braking with rear brake only (when trying to diagnose).

I don't really hear it. I can feel it through the bike. Feels like the motor is bumping somthing.

RE: Bumping feeling
I questioned this as well, the dealer said it was the Dyna "feel". Then the mechanic borrowed a used Bob for the weekend and the next day said he felt what I was talking about - only shows up when you decelerate, sometimes when there is a rough spot in the road and right after you pull the clutch and is worse two-up. Has no idea what it is, but thought it was the swingarm attaching to the motor getting "out of time" kind a thing. At least he felt it and I don't feel like I'm nit-picking the bike to death. Nothing has fallen off (yet) and I can't find anything loose.

RE: Bumping feeling
I have the same problem with my SG and notice more when riding 2 up!!!!!!!!!! I CHECKED E V E R Y T H I N G and yes I feel it through the bike. I took mine to the dealer the tech and another emp. rode 2 up and said that they could both feel it but can't explain it "have a nice day" I have 1800 mi on it when I hit 3000 it's going back for a check
