Noisy Crossbones-Question
My new CrossBones runs great. Ive put Vance and Hines Bigshots, Power Commander, and Big Sucker Air Cleaner on it. It really pulls nice. I gotta tell you though, there is a large amount of mechanical noise coming from the engine. The engine runs so good, I dont think there is any impending doom with the motor, but man it sounds noisy in there. Kinda a clanging noise. The motor only has 480 miles on it and has already had it's first oil change. Does anybody else's new engine sound like a mousetrap motor?

My XBones is still stock and 530 miles, but I know when I put the SE K&N filter on my Ultra, the engine noise level came up 2-3X with the stock pipes. Then I put on the SE slipons and I couldn't hear the engine noise any longer. The bigger engine should make more noise so I would say that it is all ok, but wouldn't hurt to take by the dealer and let them listen to it. Jerry

RE: Noisy Crossbones-Question
My Bones had the usual "sewing machine" noise up front when I first bought it and it had factory exhaust. I putthe Hookers on and now all I hearis the sweet music of a deep, rumbling exhaust. I don't see how people leave their Harleys bone stock, because all you can hear is a bunch of constant engine noise.

I reckon I may be hearing the counterbalance mechanism as this is my first B motor Harley. If something were wrong, I dont think it would run as strong as it does.
