Help installed hammer 1275 kit and makes a noise like metal is hitting something
So i just installed my kit and i started breaking it in. Did proper warmups,broke it in 1 mile than 3 miles, than i started on my 50 miles. As i was riding 11 miles in i started to hear this noise sounds like a nut or something is hitting inside of the motor. This is what i did. I checked to see if anything was loose externally nothing seems to be loose. Opened the top covers to see if a bolt came off and nope all of them are on. I retuned it with the tune they gave me not triming the variables. I used the same oil but its filled. Would i have to use different oil ? Is it thining? Not sure what it is any help would be great.

The holes for the rocker arm bolts are a bit larger than the bolts. The rocker arm covers have a bit of play back and forth before the bolts are tightened. What if the cover has been tightened and skewed in one direction enough that a push rod is sightly rattling against the frame or one of the push rod tubes??? Try loosening the covers and move them to a sightly different position. I remember reading this in a blog somewhere.
