Sportster/clicking rattling noise when hot
Sportster/clicking rattling noise when hot
2000 Sportster XLH 1200
9000 miles
NOTE: This Motorcycle was sitting in storage for 8 years
When starting off in first gear, engine hot, there is a clicking rattling noise that seems to be coming from the left side of the engine. The primary chain is within specifications; 3/8"-1/2" at the tightest point when cold. The primary oil is up to the correct level. It is also difficult to locate neutral when the engine is hot and standing still. I can locate neutral easier before the bike comes to a complete stop. This may be coincidental.
Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?
thank you in advance
