Late comment I know , but this noise is the auto adjuster. If you’d stopped the engine and tapped on the chain at the top the adjuster makes a taping noise. Been chasing this problem in my 2010 king for a few of weeks . Bought new adjuster today and added an evo industries bump stop while I was in there. Magic, no noise
2018 street glide that started making the same putt putt noise in the primary with low RPMs. When The bike is real hot from riding here in Florida, at idle if you feather the throttle slightly you hear that putt putt putt down in the primary. When you’re up and running and have RPMs buildup rides great. I was advised not worry about it just ride it I’ve got 20,000 miles on the bike now right now.
If you watch from 34 sec to 46 sec and listen to the sound you will see the adjuster move in sync with the sound - this leads me to think it either is the chain or the adjuster - there was a service bulletin put out in late 2013 for an addition of 2 spacers ( p/n 10300021 ) service bulletin # M-1352 - this affects all 2014 only Dyna,Softail,Trike,and Touring --- I would put a new bolt in and the shim kit - cost around $10 for parts -- my 2014 FLHTK is doing same and will dig into it once parts arrive including the Hayden tensioner
Any newz? Bike has been w a friend since video made. He has put some miles on it over the last year. I havent had time to break it down again. To be clear i changed all parts on compensator w updated oem, And a new baker tensioner. Noise still there after install 😣 but bike finds N way better.
Mine did the same.... take out the compensating bolt and clean it up real well and clean the threads inside and then red Loctite and re-torque it to 100lbs...back it off and then torque it to 170 ft.lbs...sounded exactly like mine....problem fixed....
The springs behind the compensates have no pressure on them since the bike is idling once the bike starts moving the springs build pressure and the noise goes away every thing 2014 and up experience this noise at idle
@@kevinmiller6183 compensator is a weak point on the Harley if you don’t have high horsepower and you’re running stock stage one or stage two and you ride hard then I would change the compensator Screamin Eagle is good but dark horse is best! Hope this helps!👍💯🇺🇸😎
When I say noisy it only makes noise if you get to 2500 rpm; anything below that and it rattles like crazy, got used to it though, dark horse did solve all my issues. No reason to run a bike below 2500 in my opinion anyway
Sold the bike 1 month ago. Purchased it w 36k miles and had 50k when it went to a new home. Never found the problem and it's still running like a beast. Didn't seem to be an issue mechanically. Thanks for viewing my video.
I have a ‘15 street glide with the same noise, but has anyone had like a bearing whine along with this?? And what did you all do to fix this noise? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Seeing how the stealership is only trying to sell me a new transmission and clutch…
As stated I sold bike to happy owner w no complaints pre covid. My 16 now has same noise and still seems to be coming from clutch basket area or in from there. I no longer worry about it and just enjoy my bike.
Hey i see that you still check comments here and there. Im having the same noise. When replacing the comp and tensioner did you buy oem or go aftermarket?
My bike has 30k miles. My compensator had noticeable wear also. The way it feels now is way better on starts and finding neutral. Worth the money. I have stock pipes and air cleaner. I did feel like maybe it needs a tuner. I purchased from auction so history is unknown on my bike

@paulbouverette503 I would assume it's your compensator. The springs go bad. The sound usually travels to the clutch basket. When my compensator went bad, it took out some teeth on my starter clutch too. I replaced both and it's all good now.
Ive got the same noise on the my '14 Street Glide. I was thinking it might be the chain slapping the inside of the primary, but I can see from your video thats not the case. Mine isn't quite as bad, but I'm sure it will get there with time. Ive only got 9400 miles on it. I tried something I read online, where I took it out and ran it up to about 4500 rpm in first gear, then let go and let it coast back down to around 1000. I did it about 10 times and it seemed to help short term.
Mine sounds exactly like this. I changed the compensator with the new SE kit which was exactly the same as OEM on 14 SG. Some wear on my old one but not a lot. New one makes bike run better but I'm still getting this noise once bike warms up. I thought someone would know what causes this. Loose chain? Maybe an aftermarket chain adjuster?
Just out of curiosity, what does your bike idle at? Mine is about 900 and it was suggested I up it to 1050, which is the point where it no longer chatters.
Geoff Hahn , i will find out idle for u soon. I won this bike on ebay from a shotty dealership. When i went to pick it up i seen another bike same as mine all apart. It had black rineharts and some othr arlen ness acc. The bike i have now has spray paint where it looks like someone was painting the exhaust and didnt remove it. My bike also has a few arlen ness acc. As well. I think maybe i should get tune check. Maybe there was some motor mods or programmers at one time.
Mine makes the same noise but only when it’s at operating temperature; I’m going to purchase a Oregon Hot Bikes tensioner, install and see if the noise stops

Hello motorcycle friends, on my Street Glide it was the disc behind the compensator. The disc could not apply the pressure properly.
The springs behind the compensates have no pressure on them since the bike is idling once the bike starts moving the springs build pressure and the noise goes away every thing 2014 and up experience this noise at idle
So is this a bad thing??
