engine puttering
Hello fellow riders,
Im new to this forum but glad to be here. im hoping someone can help me here; i have a 2009 iron 883 that i recently brought used at 6000 miles, great buy im happy practically a new bike. after a couple of months the bike started to develop a dry puttering, wheezing sound that parallels the nice rumble of the engine. when i took it to the dealer in washington they weren't very helpful as they "guessed" that since i take it for short trips the oil did not have ample time to warm up and built up condensation, in short i have water in my oil... sounds familiar? while i havent change the oil since buying the bike, will a simple oil change fix the issue?
any and all help is much appreciated
