Gentlemen, Amit lives in India, so take into account that the services available to him may be quite different to those available to us in the USA or UK! I suspect it is early days for there to be any significant independent Harley specialists there, although happy to be proved wrong. Here in the UK we have only had a dealership chain since the mid-1970s, whereas AFAIK in India H-D has only recently established a network, in fact there are just 33 dealers at present in the whole of India, one more than here in the UK!

I'm having a hard time hearing anything sinister, and nothing that sounds like bells. Have you checked your fuel tank mounting bolts? Mine were loose one time and at a higher RPM it sounded like the top of the engine was about to come off. It was just a loose bolt holding the tank to the frame resonating at a certain engine RPM.

Thank You Everyone for the help and support however we have finally resolved the issue to most extent.

it took multiplle attempts however things are taken care.

Good for you Amit! Glad you've got it sorted out. May I suggest you spend some time on You Tube learning about your Sportster. There are a ton of videos and I particularly like the ones from Delboy's Garage. I've learned a lot and you will too. These are easy bikes to work on, and with help from the guys here on HDF and the things you can learn on You Tube, you'll be doing most of your repairs yourself while saving $$$$ and having the satisfaction of doing it yourself and learning about your bike. Also, buy a factory service manual. They are expensive, but will also save you a lot of cash.

Remember, those "specially trained Harley mechanics" are the same guys who told you they inspected and adjusted your non-existent timing chain.

Welcome to the forum! Stick around and keep us posted. Go for a ride and take some photos of your area and post'em here. We love seeing different places where we all ride.

Thank You Mike for all the info. Will certainly go through the channel to learn more. However trust me I have no faith on them anyway 😂🤣😂🤣. Someone actually walked up to me while I was typing my reply saying We are specially trained mechanics and I eneded up laughing and quoted the same in my reply 😂.

When I saw the thread title I though some guy's ears were ringing after riding. Was all ready to recommend earplugs.
