DEJ2 asked:


I took my Harley into the shop because it developed a whining sound in the engine, and I thought what was a valve chatter had gotten louder as well. I have put almost 40000 miles on the bike and my warranty runs out next April. The dealer called me a couple of days ago and told me that the cam chain tensioners are the cause of the noise, which I was told might be the problem, and that they would have to be replaced as well as the oil pump. I didn’t think to ask while I was on the phone, but why would the oil pump need to be replaced. That makes me think that it wasn’t working right, which makes me wonder if any damage to the engine has occured because of lack of oil pressure. Does the oil pump have anything to do with the cam chain tensioners, or does it have to be replaced when replacing the tensioners? Or is the pump a totally unrelated problem which I need to ask more questions about?

Ok, you finally got the cash to buy one. What is the best time of year to walking into a dealer and work out a good deal? What about the exclusive Harley stores vs. cycle centers that have a dozen or so makes on the same lot?
