#111311 Txroaddog (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 3 Ticking sound from lower exhaust pipe. 3 Months, 1 Week ago   Any info? What make this strange the bike runs good, until you shut down the engine and the ticking begins. Lasts 2-3 minutes then goes away. But what makes this more interesting, if you tap the heat shield the ticking goes away. Dealer says this is normal as the exhaust cools down. Whats the real scoop, fellow roadies! ride safe Txroaddog   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #111315 Cougar (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2698 Re:Ticking sound from lower exhaust pipe. 3 Months, 1 Week ago   I do not say this often but...the dealer is right...Coug   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #111316 slezy (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 698 Re:Ticking sound from lower exhaust pipe. 3 Months, 1 Week ago   always ride just cooling down parts expand with heat( muolecular strucer expansion/cold contraction)they just sound neat when your setting there with a cold drink after a long ride enjoying the view of your roadie!!

Mine doesn't tick since I replaced the stock exhaust.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #111367 Pop Rivet (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2761 Re:Ticking sound from lower exhaust pipe. 3 Months, 1 Week ago   The dual wall er welded on shields of hk and road burners do not tick After hard riding not a tick...not even one My Harley Classic made quite the song and the Cobra classics with the hose clamp shields... Megacone none... It is entertaining though   Logged     2009 Ultra Classic HD...2005 Silverado Road Star Listen to the Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #111370 Musky (Moderator) Doc took Grams beer Moderator Posts: 13198 Re:Ticking sound from lower exhaust pipe. 3 Months, 1 Week ago   Just coolin off. I like the ticking. Bikes are supposed to tick when you shut em down.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #111426 Pop Rivet (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2761 Re:Ticking sound from lower exhaust pipe. 3 Months, 1 Week ago   Musky wrote: Just coolin off.

Exhausts systems that use hose clamps and thinner guage material are more suseptible to this warping...   Logged     2009 Ultra Classic HD...2005 Silverado Road Star Listen to the Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access.
