I have a 2003 FLSTFI and recently it began to make what sounds like tappet noise on deceleration.  The noise only occurs when the engine is warm and when the engine is decelerating  down through 2500rpm.  The noise does not happen when accelerating.  On cool mornings I don't notice the noise and when the ambient  temperature rises the noise begins.  The engine is stock except for the screamin eagle air filter kit and a vance and hines 2into1 pro pipe.  The bike only has 19480 miles on it.  Any Suggestions?  Thanks
