Default After turning bike off.....tink...tink-tink......tink noises

Does this indicate too lean? I installed new slip-ons (cfr) and a tfi and I have it adjusted to where the bike runs perfectly - great throttle response and no popping. - but wondering if the noises in the motor after shut off indicates I am running too lean or is this normal?

Nope.... just stuff cooling down..... probably does it while it heats up too..... but your noisy *** exhaust drowns it out

yup agree...just things cooling off...this is normal on just about any bike I've ever ridden. Harley's tend to run a bit hotter then some others bikes

Every Harley I've been around does it. No worries.

If that's the only concern you have, you're in business! No problem whatsoever, just normal cool down of metallic parts made of differing compositions.

Your car/truck does the same thing if you listen for it.
