**Ticking** noise on '23 CVO Road Glide

(1/2) > >>

jm1797:
Has anyone had a faint ticking noise coming from their remote power lock/ unlock relays? I have it on my 2023.5 CVO RG and can hear it when the bike is off and parked in the garage. It's noticeable when there is no other ambient noise, so it has to be quiet for me to hear it. Bugs the hell out of me and Harley says its normal. Doesn't seem right to me and it's not present in the '24 CVOs. Here's a youtube link from a YouTuber having the same issue.

Has anyone with this issue been able to get it fixed?

Joel:
Determine which relay is clicking remove it and with a small pick tool try to slightly bend the female connectors the relay pushes into.
 You can look at the blades of the relay to see the scratch marks to see if 1 has less.
Poor connections can cause your symptom. Recheck and clean all grounds, positive and negative cables at the battery.

Thanks for the advice. I cleaned the relay male connectors, bent the female connectors to help make better contact and even tried swapping relays and also buying a new one to test. The clicking is still there. Ugh…. It might be a BCM issue. Surprised no one else on here has heard it on the 2023.5 CVO RG

What’s with Harley now? Any time there’s something wrong with a bike, they now say “it’s normal”! If a crank runout specs is 3 thou, and a bunch of bad cranks come through…. Change the spec! If a bunch of bikes are consuming oil, say that’s normal! A Harley should consume up to a liter of oil every 2500 ks. Oh you need to go touring? Take a 4 liter can of oil, it should strap on the back fine. Pisses me off that what was once a great company, that you could rely on to provide quality motorcycles, service, and parts, now sells Chinese t shirts for 75 bucks, and tries to dodge quality issues any time they arise. Should be bloody ashamed of themselves.

Maybe yours is just special and not "all" of them "do that".
