4th gear @42mph?
2008 Heritage..3000miles my first Harley. On a level road at about 42 mph in 4th gear I get an exhaust popping sound /behind the power curve. Does this slight popping sound so any engine damage? I shift down immediately if I enter an incline. Comments please.
Thanks, wicker in San Antonio

That sounds a bit slow to me, however if you don't have an owners manual, to check engine revs and road speeds, you may be able to download one from the H-D website. Go to the Owners tab.
As for the popping, what mods if any does your bike have? Changes to air filter or exhausts can do that, if fuelling isn't adjusted properly.
