2007 Sportster chatter?
Is it normal for my 07 Sportster 883R to have valve train noise. Much like a sewing machine when its cold...but when it gets hot it starts to clatter. Much like and old Chevy 350 that needs the rocker arms adjusted. Is this normal operation sound of the Sportsters?

Not only is it normal... I'd be worried sick if mine DIDN'T make those kinds of noises.

Harley sells a kit so you can remove the chickens and ducks from your bike. Quiets it right
down.
