Help Please ??
Have just bought my first Harley Davidson.
2007 Electra Glide, with 30,000 miles. It is starting to skip, seems like when it's warm and around 2,000 rpms, not all the time but enough sound you notice it when riding and to know it's not correct. Also as the bike warms up it sounds like the valves start to get noisier,so it seems to me. It does have a full warranty with Harley Davidson for 3 years. Any help ???? Thanks.

Last year I bought an 08 Road Glide. Bought the 3 year warranty. So far it has paid for a new head unit that went bad.

On our 07 we bought new.. I've had 2 times it had a miss..
First One at around 10K was due to the bolts on the battery had come loose.. cleaned the leads and Tightened the bolts up.. fixed that one..
The second time at 4th yr I had it with 33K miles, It started missing again. Ended up being the "Pin-Hole" in the gas line problem that a LOT of members in here have reported and have had the same issue.. Replaced all the hoses inside the tank and installed a new filter.. That fixed that issue and it's ran fine since then..
