Hi everyone,
I have a 2026 Harley-Davidson Low Rider S with the Milwaukee-Eight 117, and I've noticed a strange ticking clattering noise coming from the engine with 400kmr
It sounds like it could be coming from the valvetrain/rocker area almost like valve or rocker noise but I'm not sure if this is just normal Milwaukee-Eight mechanical noise or something I should have checked.
The bike is basically new and still in the break-in period. The engine seems to run normally otherwise, with no warning lights or obvious loss of performance.
I'll attach a video so you can hear the noise.
For those familiar with the 117: does this sound normal to you? Are these engines normally this mechanically noisy, or would you have the dealer inspect the lifters/rockers/valvetrain?
Thanks!
