Afternoon Everybody.

For peace of mind, I changed the oil in my R3R today even if the person I bought it from said they did. I went with Mobile 1 4t 10w/40 and the Wix 51358 filter. End up putting right around 5.5 quarts and the oil is right up to the top line of the dip stick.

Since the R3R is new to me, I was wondering if you fine folks could take a listen to my engine. Sounds to me like something is tapping, but for all I know it could be just the way the engine sounds.

Thanks in advance.

 
Thanks everybody! I'm used to engines ticking due to Harley's, just wanted to make sure the Rocket wasn't about to blow up.
 
Hard to tell, might re-torque the header bolts as they sometimes loosen up and allow slight leak which sounds like ticking.
 
only thing i recommend is engine dresser bars for bike; which then you could add highway pegs.

(sounds good)
