I have a 17 LRS as well, with roughly 2300 miles. I’ve recently just noticed some engine noise/chatter/knocking (can’t figure out exactly what it is) coming from the front cylinder. I have a bassani RR2 and V&H FP3 (with a custom map from V&H) and it’s mind boggling with this noise. I just started happening and it’s a little concerning. Anyone else experiencing this?

did you ever change your exhaust gaskets when you swapped the new exhaust? Sounds like your front header is not aligned properly

I did not, but I put the pipes on two years ago. After I had about 500 miles on the bike. Up until the month or so, it’s hasn’t made a sound. Now it does but only during cruising speeds when I need to downshift and accelerate hard, like when a light is about the change to red.

id try tightening the exhaust flanges first you’re supposed to check on them and retighten after a few hundred miles but most forget that and ride off

I did that last week. I was experiencing a lot of decel pop, once my FP3 did a firmware update. Before the update, I never had decel pop. So I tighten everything up, changed my map to auto tune, did a few sessions/gas tanks worth of riding and that’s when the clatter starting happening. I contacted V&H, uploaded my auto tunes to them via the app, they modified and sent back a custom tune. Decel pop is gone, bike is scary fast, but the clatter remains. I’m nervous about taking it to Harley for warranty because of my A/M parts. I’m in California and it was a bitch to buy the parts I have because no one would ship to CA. So I feel Harley might try to say those parts voided my warranty.
