I just put in the upgraded hydraulic kit at the dealer up here in Niagara Canada. $2000 later . I pick it up today. This is totally unacceptable by any standards for an engine to fail like this so soon. 40k miles on an 05 Road King. Lucky I have fix my hog because I knew nothing of this problem and over the winter did an inspection of the outer tensioner and lucky I did because it was down to the bone. Without the inspection and not knowing about this problem could have led to catastrophic consequences. This is a serious design flaw that HD should be somewhat responsible for. If this was a car manufacturer all hell would break loose. Any way glad its fixed not glad about the cost, Cheers

In reply to Pat Erving.

We would suggest removing your cam cover to inspect your cam chain tensioners. A worn/broken tensioner or a bad cam bearing can cause the audible that you are describing.
Start with an inspection.
