Just bought a 2012 street glide. it has a rubbing noise on the front left side of the engine. { sounds like a bicycle wheel with a playing card in it like when you were little}. Its at about 28000 rpm. The harley shop says its from the plastic cam chain tensioner??? anyone else have it. The bike runs fine but the noise is driving me crazy. thanks

 

Cam tensioner, dealership morons....Could it be a ping, that's a common RPM for it to start?

 

28,000 RPM? damn, my redline is 6500..lol.

 

Must be a special edition with a ninja engine.oops did I say that out loud.

 

well its more of a whirring noise like a vibration. but its at about 2800 rpm and then itll go away but bike runs fine.
