#9742 Topher (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 67 Galloping Sound 5 Years, 8 Months ago   Doc, What could cause a galloping sound coming from my rear cylinder exhaust pipe. Just switched from DG HardKrome Big 3's to Vance and Hines Longshots because the HardKromes were just way to loud. I thought going to a smaller diameter pipe might alleviate the noise but it is still there.

BTW, I put my hand to the pipe and it is not sucking. I though it my be sticky valve syndrome. Hey, don't get me wrong, I don't mind one galloping horse, but the whole rodeo?

I love watching the R* wag its tail as she plays out that beautiful gallop... My Harley rocked on rubber mounts while it played much the same medley http://home.cogeco.ca/~rwbaxter/The%20V-Twin.htm<br><br>Post edited by: Pop Rivet, at: 2006/09/22 23:16   Logged     2009 Ultra Classic HD...2005 Silverado Road Star MY WEBSITE HOG HEAVEN Listen to the Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #9766 dozer (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 258 Re:Galloping Sound 5 Years, 8 Months ago   Topher wrote: Doc, What could cause a galloping sound coming from my rear cylinder exhaust pipe.

Thanks Topher no worrys topher: mine does the same way just the rear cyl., i had mentioned that to my dealer (before our falling out) he fired up a trade in with v/h long shots and it did the same thing and he said its part for the coarse with a roady.   Logged     going to the cat house   The administrator has disabled public write access. #9767 Roadkill1962 (User) ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ Platinum Boarder Posts: 3213 Re:Galloping Sound 5 Years, 8 Months ago   Topher-- Mine was doing the very same thing...the gallop sound is normal like Pop Rivet says, but mine was EXTREME. On mine, i put my hand down at the end of the pipes, and the front cylinder felt like it was firing twice as often. Turns out I had the dreaded sticky valve syndrome. It's taken a whole tank of gas with a bunch of Marvel Mystery Oil in it...AND riding a lot at 60 in 2nd gear...but as of yesterday, the problem is going away. Got a normal sounding idle coming back and she's running better. Still gallops, but now it's more like quarterhorses than Clydesdales... hope that helps-- RK   Logged     “To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.” - Thomas Jefferson   The administrator has disabled public write access. #9773 Pop Rivet (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3123 Re:Galloping Sound 5 Years, 8 Months ago   Does it sound like this??? http://home.cogeco.ca/~rwbaxter/harley%20sound.wav Ha then you got a Hardley <br><br>Post edited by: Pop Rivet, at: 2006/09/23 00:13   Logged     2009 Ultra Classic HD...2005 Silverado Road Star MY WEBSITE HOG HEAVEN Listen to the Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #9774 dozer (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 258 Re:Galloping Sound 5 Years, 8 Months ago   hey pop rivet your message never came through   Logged     going to the cat house   The administrator has disabled public write access.
