Is the iron 883 loud?
Sportsters can be as Loud or Louder than anything on the market 883 (900) or 1200 ….. the pipe length and diameter have a lot to do with it.
What kind of noise does a Sportster make?
1996 Sportster 1200 Custom, just hit 30,000 miles. First time ever heard ‘pingy’ noise from underneath primary cover, or so it seemed. sort of as if it was (no pun intended) ‘cycling’ along with the engine as the engine is running.
Which is the most noisy Harley Davidson engine?
HD engines seem to be the most noisy. If you put on a windshield….you will be surprised at all the engine noise you hear. Many guys say (and mechanics too) that the sportster is the noisiest of the HD engines. Not saying you shouldn’t be checking things out…..especially new noises…..but my 1200C is noisy and has been all along.
Why is my Harley Davidson sprocket making noise?
Third dealer: said primary chain not properly tightened by first dealer, tightened it anew, but noise the same. noisy/pingy as teeth on inside of sprocket wear. He said no problem to continue riding, even till Springtime if I want!, then bring in for repair. Anybody have any experience with this? Any thoughts? different opinions from ‘dealers’.
