Hard to tell from the video....but my '09 sounded kind of like that.....and my problem turned out to be bad valve guides. My noise came from near the rear cylinder.
It is not a normal noise.
Are you running stock push rods? It sounds like my '06 sounded after gear drive cams and adjustable pushrods. Mine ran great for 30k miles before I traded on my '09. The '06 had 50k total when traded. If you're stock it could be a lifter bleeding down when the oil gets hot.

yes, the push rods are stock...the dealer told me that, yes, the motor was a bit noisy but,
everything was o.k......not noisy enough for them to open it up. IF. i keep the bike i
Thats a new bike. I wouldn't settle for that for one minute. If the dealer isn't going to help, contact Harley corporate and politely request that a factory rep is sent to listen to it. My 2010 and my buddies 2011 doesn't sound anything like that! Something isn't right there. Have you tried another dealer? I very very seriously doubt thats any type of exhaust leak. Thats metal!
