This is a pretty specific sound. Most notably it was not a consistent tick. Kind of all over the place. Did not seem to follow the rotation of the engine. If it sounds like mine did I would most definitely put new lifters in. Can’t hurt. Let me know what you find.

We have an 01 Classic and an 01 Softail. Installed Johnson Lifters with Quick Install pushrods, and all clicking gone!

Loved the video. What lifters did you buy. I have a 110” CVO as well

I had a 1200 Sportster 1991 that had a rear cylinder hydraulic lifter that didn't pump up ! Noisy Bastard! That was in England. Over here in NC the next door neighbor has had two CVO Road Glides . The newest was making the same noise. Thought it could have been the adjustable push rods but NO it was his hydraulic lifters that had crapped out !🤔😳😎Hope this is information for someone!👍😎🇺🇸

Hi, I have the same or similar ticking noise on my 110 TC, it sounded kinda like yours but also like i would throw some screws in a bucket and shake it. was not consistent and only once the engine got hot. They guy in the garage told me that 2 lifters were broken and the sound is carried out to the top of the engine. However, cam seems broken and oil pump too. Can a broken lifters be the cause or do the lifters brake because something else in the engine might broke first? People are telling that lifters dont break and if there are its because something else broke first. Thanks!

I actually have the same noise , little less frequent but also kinda random and found this video here. I think that is a pretty good match and will try to verfiy this now with my tech. Very nice find and precious video ! How big of a "investment" is it to change 4 lifters ?

currently have the same noise. Replaced all lifters just because they have 68,000 miles on them. Noise is still there but in the top end. Time to dig deeper.

I have been digging mad digging and finally found your video to have a similar enough sound to my bike, that I think it gives me hope. Did your sound start out like a pebble hitting your exhaust every once in a while and then progressively get worse, or did your noise come in all at once?

I thought of that but I think the roller would have displayed a lot more damage.

I have 2017 FLSS (Softail Slim S) and just started to hear the same noise from the engine. Replacing lifters will only be the solution? I think this is because of much more bigger pressure and temperature caused by 110 Screaming Eagle Engine. You should add an oil cooler and oil pump system to cool down the engine. Otherwise, the same problem could occur again.

@theharleydavidsonmotorcycl945

Жыл бұрын

The CVO’s come with an oil cooler. But I have heard of several people with 110 having the same issue. So I do not think it is a heat problem. I think it probably just the lifters that Harley used in the engines. Just my opinion.

Is it possible for the twin cam 88 making this same noise, to be the same problem? 99 Electra Glide with 2003 Road King Motor. Making an identical noise.

@@genecitarella3516 I do not believe it was from a lack of lubrication. Probably more the way I ride. I put on 10-12k a year and a lot of it is winding roads. I got in the bad habit of just down shifting and engine braking in the turns, instead of just using the brakes and then down shifting. This put a lot of unnecessary wear on those rollers.Brakes are a lot easier and less expensive to replace. I am just guessing at the reason it happened. The bike did have 60000 or so miles on it.

The oil change before I found the bad lifter I did notice some debris on the oil plug magnet. After I changed the lifters I found no debris at all. So it was more than likely coming from the bad roller on the lifter.

Yes the contact area to the cam has a roller on it then the top side of the lifter makes contact to the pushrod which makes contact with the rocker arm and opens the valve

One of the many valvetrain problems of a twin cam.

I am a Harley mech and unfortunately, I see this quite often in the 110 engines. They come with SE lifters and they are not good at all. S&S are good but the best I have seen so far is Fueling lifters. Everything Fueling is very good especially their Cam chain tensioner pads. Anyone who has SE lifters really should swap them out asap before they let go and destroy the engine.

I have a question. If you knew you were going to be working on that side of the bike, why did you put it on the lift that way?

@theharleydavidsonmotorcycl945

2 жыл бұрын

It could be because that is the way I like to do it…or it could be that the lift does not fit under the bike frame on the kickstand side. So you have to stand the bike up straight to get it all the way under. It is much easier to pull on the handle bars to get the bike up straight and at the same time push the lift under. Then if I should happen to lose grip of the bars I have the kick stand to catch it on the other side. Also, should I pull it to far over center I can stop it from falling. Doing it from the kickstand side I would have to push the bike up straight and push the lift under. Plus there is nothing to stop it from falling if I were to push it over center. Sorry I took so long to respond. I am sure you have been waiting anxiously for me to answer this important and relevant question.
