Default 2015 Dyna low rider. 65000 miles

I just got this bike from a auction. Don't know anything about it. I changed the oil and it seems to be louder. I used a synthetic Should I be concerned about it

Synthetic will do that, my Road Glide uses Syn 3 and sounds like a machine shop. It’s sounded like that for 145,000 miles.

Synthetic motor oil has that reputation. Doesn't necessarily indicate that you have an issue though.

Very nice! BTW, in your OP, did you mean 6500 (hundred) miles instead of 65000 (thousand)? That's a lot of miles for a 2015.

With 65K miles is why likely it was at the auction rather than kept at a dealership. As such if you got it for a good $$ then great. High miles for a 15 likely is a commuter bike and generally this are easy on systems. Enjoy.

High mileage in a short period of time, clearly indicated highway miles. That's good for the clutch and transmission. As long as it has good compression, I think you're OK. Beautiful bike; it appears to be in good shape. I hope it proves to be dependable for you. Love the stance of the low riders; rake, forward controls... good looking bike and a GREAT color.
