Hello,
I have a 2023 road glide ST that I bought just a few days ago... fine at first now it seems to have a loud tick... roughly 350 miles on the bike right now... anyone have any ideas what this could be?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Not kidding, I believe it's actually 326 miles. Dealer picks it up this weekend, appointment for next wed, I will update this thread when they tell me whats going on.
Quick update: Day 3 of them working on the bike, last update was that they were opening up the cam chest, they found metallic dust, told me this is normal for a new engine and didn't see anything other then that, they were then taking the push rods out to fully inspect the cams, oil pump, and tappet lifters... mind you they are closed monday's and tuesday due to the fourth of july, but had the bike all day yesterday and when I called for a status update this morning they couldn't tell me anything fun times!
