2K8 serk 40k miles weird noises
« on: June 25, 2015, 03:45:46 AM »

So I live in Oregon (helmet state) and the other night on my way home from work I pulled my helmet off to get a good listen to the bike while it was under acceleration. I was on a back road where the chances of catching a ticket were slim to none. The sounds I heard could be described as horrifying, I have had a 2k6 heritage with a 88" revo motor and a 2k7 streetglide with the same 88" revo motor, both while I lived in Texas (freedom state) and I never heard any of the noises on both of those skoots. I have checked all of the heat shields. They are stock and tight. The front motor mount looks like the rubber shock rings need replacing, so I had the wife come out and rev it for me to about 1500-2000 rpms and it sounds like it is coming from the top end above the push rods. I am hoping and praying that it is not the heads, but nevertheless it was purchased used in March and I have only put 1000 miles on it since then. Any and all responses to this matter will be greatly appreciated!!!

don't know all the info (total mies on bike), but between 40-50k the camshaft chain tensioner needs to be replaced.tappets are known to fail as well, but that noise is usually around the bottom end around the base of cylinder

X2   Need to catch those before they disintegrate, or good-bye engine.
