I don't hear it ticking.
But I don't want to. I know what that is; it's various metal parts moving against one another as they cool. It's friction and it will cause wear and with time, maybe warping.
VERY stressful. So...the less I hear of that, the happier I am. That I don't hear it, tells me this was a precision-engineered piece of hardware.
Also tells me, it's got an aluminum engine. Softer metal.
Well...it doesn't mark its parking spot with a black mark, either.
But I guess it was too costly to hire a Harley engineer as a consultant.
