Same here I finally got my tire machine and balancer so that really ramped up my business

I'd start checking for loose hardware or rocks that get caught between the engine, primary, trans and frame. Look closely around where the swingarm mounts to the transmission and between the primary to passenger peg area. Also around where the front exhaust pipe turns under the right rider footboard. Look closely for evidence of rubbing, like paint warn through or rusted bare steel areas. Also look check all exhaust mounts and the rear rubber mounts. Make sure the rear rubber mounts and have room to move back and forth between the ears of the slipon mufflers. Remember the engine, trans primary and swingarm are all bolted together and suspended in your frame with rubber mounts. So your likely looking for something that's interfering with the travel of those mounts transferring vibration. I check with a super bright flashlight and you'd be susprised how many times I find old battery bolts or air deflector hardware caught between powertrain and frame situations like this.

O and I'd check the front engine stabilizer link at the top of the engine for ware along with those bolts being tight also.

No. I don't do any evo work.

The case is aluminum and the internal parts are steel.

@@HarleyDavidsonWizard Then that is why Harley engines last quite a long time. Right? ... Another question my friend ... I have seen videos of people who bought a Harley Davidson Fatboy 2021 and have problems with the rotor of the front brake disc. What do you think about this issue and do you think that this problem has a solution? It's very serious?

I haven't seen any problems with fatboy front rotors so I'm not sure.

@@HarleyDavidsonWizard to finish .... as you say that the milwaukee engine is made of aluminum and steel parts, this engine can last if you take care of about 400,000km ?. Proper maintenance applied.

I've seen them go 100k miles.

He hasn't replied....but let me say: Many do it without any issue. I did mine while still on the bike. No issues. Took my time and was very meticulous.

I am still here.

@@HarleyDavidsonWizard oh good. without seeing the bike it's a 2014 stock 103. it's flashing emc code s .1510 2127 2138 . so limp mode twist grip sensor.... is it likely that the emc is bad and I can't change the myself can I? second question name and location of your shop?

It's super unlikely that the twist grip sensor itself is bad. Its always the wiring or connectors are damaged causing the condition. The most commen spots on your bike for damage are a green connector inside the handle bar and also where the twist grip sensor itself plugs into the main wiring harness inside the fairing. I'm at motor city harley in Farmington HIlls Michigan.

If the fault is located at one if the connectors of the twist grip sensor. Alot of times the best course of action is to replace the twist grip sensor assembly. It just depends.

@@HarleyDavidsonWizard I don't trust the Harley dealer here. I cleaned and lubed every connector fron the headlight to the ecm.except the green connector in the bars, looked for broken wires.ect.... took it to this dealer, waited 5 hours while they tried to find the problem, I think they gave up and sold me a ecm. the bike doesn't go zoom zoom , it's a dog in first almost like it's in single cylinder mode. but once in 2nd it's fine, Rides down the hwy great. but 1st gear intercity is shit. are you guys way out on parts? cause they are telling me three weeks for the emc.

I'm been hiding at the new job. They've had me super busy. Im still around tho.
