New Noise Developing
Went on a long ride (about 200 miles) with the better half yesterday and I noticed a noise coming from the right side of the bike. At first I thought it sounded like a mirror rattle until I stuck my head down on the right side near the gas tank. It sounds like a grinding/chewing sound but the pitch is a little higher (at idle). What's over there to be giving out or failing? I heard about something failing in the '06s but know can't remember (cam tensioners??). Bike has 7000 miles on it so far. Would like to know before I take it to the dealer and get their 2 cents.

I stuck my head downclose tothe engine under the air cleaner while it was idling in the driveway. Icould hear it real well so I am thinking it something on that side of the engine doing nasty things.

Hi,
I have an 06 Ultra also, once you get it figured out repost to fill us in, I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary with mine (knock on wood). I hope it turns out to be nothing just one of those things that happen at times. Oh, if you take it to the stealer you will get only 1 cent worth of knowledge and a bill for several hundred dollars at the least, best keep looking or listening as it is before you go. Good luck
