Wow, that is a lot of "whirling". Noticeably loud on the right side of the bike when you do the walk around. Was it like that before the oil change?

The Eliminators sound really good!

Very nice Goose! Any upgrade plans during the snow-in?

Yeah. That sounds horrible. They ended up replacing the engine in my ultra Limited at 700 miles because the front cylinder got eaten up. It was knocking like crazy. They think the oil pump failed.

Yeah it sounded worse before the oil change. I'm just going to let it whir and grind it's self up. It's been getting louder the last 100 miles.

Man go get that looked at before it comes back on you. never let something go till it's catastrophic even if there is a warranty which you could be jeopardizing letting it chew itself up long term.

This...completely agree. I wouldn't want to ride it another mile sounding like that, and would call the dealer to have them trailer it in to the shop vs riding it there.

Absolutely, call them immediately and have them pick it up. Don't start it again, that motor sounds like it's about to implode
