Newb w/a noise question:
49 years old, Retired USMC. I've been doing the jap crap thing since I was 11. Just gave my Honda Blackbird to my brother and bought a 2001 Night Train, my first H-D. Carbureted, 6000 miles when I bought it. Have put 1700 miles on the bike in 2 1/2 months, planning to do the oil change thing in 300 more miles.
Noticed a new noise today, sounds like it is coming from the front cylinder, much noisier than before. Oil has never been run hard, 220-230 is the highest I've ever seen it go, still very clean and unblackened on the dipstick.
No leaks on this bike, period.
Noise appears to be getting worse, or it could be I'm getting more attuned to hearing it.
Suggestions?
