RE: 07 FLSTF knock sound
This is quite normal to the 07 bikes. When first starting the compensator bottoms out and there is a loud knock noise. My 07 Heritage does it and so soes every other 2007 bike that I have heard!!! Now if I think it should never have been designed this was then of course I don't BUT don't worry it's more an annoyance than a problem with you bike .

Yeah, I went back to the stealer and I did listen to other bikes. Mostly 07's some 08's and didn't really hear that same sound coming from any of those bikes. Service manager insists that it is normal for a compensator sproket to make that noise on inital start up. No noise coming from the bike while cruising.. HMMMMM. Hope the damn thing falls apart before my two years are up. What the he ll.

Just bought new Fatboy. When I first start it I hear a knock coming from the primary case side. Of course I was told by the dealer that it was normal. Love the bike but the sound is buggin. Was told that it was a compensator sproket and the initial knock on start up was normal. Not buying it. Anyone know whats up???
I believe it's start up knock your hearing it's normal even if you think it's not and sounds like it abnormal. It's Harley normal

Here`s a tip:
If someone posts a technical question, don`t just throw out a vague guess if you know nothing about the subject being discussed.
