#107916 chief802 (User) Firefighters do their best work when its HOT! Fresh Boarder Posts: 83 Re:Ticking sound from the front? 3 Months, 1 Week ago   Gunhead, My 06 will do that if I am riding around town for an extended period of time . It always goes away after about 4-5 miles of open road . I'm suspecting that it may have something to do with hotter engine and less oil into the upper end at lower RPMs around town. I was paranoid as heck when I first got the bike, but thanks to this forum I think a bomb could go off under it now and I would just keep on ridin'   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #107919 Frank_W (User) Hitting deer -- in the FACE!!

Not without their idiosyncrasies, but thankfully, not temperamental or too maintenance intensive for those of us who are not so mechanically inclined.   Logged     It\'s easy to tell who your real friends are: Lock your dog and your wife in the trunk for an hour.

Junior Boarder Posts: 179 Re:Ticking sound from the front? 3 Months, 1 Week ago   I'd bet its just valve noise, and as mentioned, nature of the beast... I've got an 08 and its got, I would assume, the same noise coming from the front. Louder at low rpm and open throttle because the pipes don't drown it out? Anyway, enjoy the ride!   Logged     Cowboys like us sure do have fun, racin the wind, chasin the sun. We\'ll take the long way around back to square one. Today we\'re just outlaws out on the run. There\'ll be no regrets, no worries and such, for cowboys like us.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #107962 Razor (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 219 Re:Ticking sound from the front? 3 Months, 1 Week ago   I had a similar problem and it turned out to be the coil arcing sparks to the frame.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #107973 Frank_W (User) Hitting deer -- in the FACE!! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1251 Re:Ticking sound from the front? 3 Months, 1 Week ago   RangerDan, that sounds like what's going on with my bike, too. Yesterday, most of my riding was in the higher gears, and it didn't do it at all. (Eh... I'm still going to check my windshield bolts and such...) Heh..   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/08/11 06:20 By Frank_W.   It\'s easy to tell who your real friends are: Lock your dog and your wife in the trunk for an hour.

My 07 1700 does it when I'm cruising around at low rpms. Sounds pretty junky to me but everyone that I have asked about it says theirs does it too. I'm not sure of the origin of the noise but it doesn't do it when the revs are a little higher.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
