Known Issues

The early hydraulic primary chain tensioners were known to wear prematurely, leading to potential noise and chain slack. Replacement with an updated or manual tensioner is common.

Cam Chain Tensioners:

The Twin Cam engines also utilize cam chain tensioners that can wear, though less critically than the primary. Inspection and potential replacement are part of scheduled maintenance.

Rear Cylinder Overheating:

Like many air-cooled V-twins, the rear cylinder can run hotter, especially in stop-and-go traffic or hot weather. Proper tuning and airflow are key.
