The repairs were done under warranty. I guess it is probable that some metal from the failing lifter and chaffed cam got into the motot.  But after viewing the parts and seeing no metal on the oil plug, I felt it was minimal.

Been 6000 miles since and so far all good.
OK, just making sure you knew, generally a crappy lifter creates metal in the oil pump, oil cooler, oil pan, etc.. and get replaced under ESP which is a hell of lot more difficult than under Warranty.

So the MOCO was content to send you down the road to experience catastrophic failure and potentially strand you on the highway. 

And yet they somehow still sell new motorcycles...    >:( >:( >:(

You are correct.....I am just thankful for all the info on this forum that educated me of this potential issue ....which allowed me to sidestep a potentially huge problem.

Hogdooz just posted in another thread here in TC that he's stranded in Albuquerque for several days b/c of bearing failure.  There goes his vacation.  Thanks Harley.

And the fastest way to get back on the road in his situation is...buy another Harley and leave the old one.  That's a great business model MoCo has.

I'm experiencing the same kind of noise since a week or so, and it's getting worse each day. Seems that everything is unfastened in the heads (or maybe around the cams). The MAP sensor is going crazy, with erratic readings, so nothing is stable anymore, RPM, VE, Idle, spark...

I've stopped riding and I'm waiting for the dealer to open and check what's going on. 2 years and few months, 26k miles...  >:(

Doesn't sound good.  When I noticed the ticking, I only rode for about 300 mile, all interstate, before I had the lifters checked.

During this time the bike ran fine.

Good luck
