Hello?
Mine is 2014 roadking classic (International version)
I've installed SE 110ci stage 3 kit on it when the miledge was about 11,000miles and it's about 28,000miles now.
I suffered from some rattling sound form primary a while ago, then it was fixed after replacing the compensator with baker's and primary inner bearing,clutch hub bearing with new ones.
But a few days ago, the motor started to make another more strange and bigger noise from the engine side.



Can anyone recognize what make this noise?
Lifter? rocker box?
It drives me crazy now.....

 

Sounds like lifters to me.

 

I'm going with lifter as well.

 

sounds like lifters, but could be anything including comp. I would not run your bike much until fixed.
If you have a long screwdriver ( one end on the engine areas, and then the handle against your ear) or mechanics stethoscope check out low end or rockers, ie different areas. That might help locate the issue. I am not a pro tech however so just my guess.

 

It sounds like the motor has a miss

 

I'd say lifters, or possibly a bent pushrod.

You can easily lift the pushrod tubes and see if any of them are loose.

Thanks All,
My friendly mechanic also says it is lifters.....
The lifters and push rods are SE ones which came with Bore up kits.....
I think I should go with S&S ones...

 

I've ordered S&S premium tappets 330-0175,
By the way, when I throttle the bike when start or very low rpm, I can feel the motor hesitate a little bit, it is very short time but it makes me hard to cotrol when the motor is in very low speed. (Can also be checked in the attached movie.)
Does this symtom have any relation with lifter issue???

And, is there any possibility that the motor have problem in cams(SE-585 also from the big bore kit)?
Bike runs well...excepting in very low engine speed and the rattling sound is main problem.

 

I put the S&S Premiums with the factory-installed shims in my '15 Limited and adjusted the push rods 1/4 turn "off the shim", along with a set of Rockout rocker shaft shims. Near-silent valve train now. Night and day difference in the appearance and performance between the POS H-D lifters (Mexican? Chinese? Who TF knows?) and the Made-in-USA, quality S&S parts! Also, no more start-up clatter.

IMO, this is the way to go. No further improvement possible in quietness or operation, AFAIK.

 

Thank you!
I've ordered a set of rockout in amazon.
I will install these also when lifter replacement.
