It happens because of the air cooling mostly, the rapid expansion and compression of the metal.

This is the first I've ever heard of this issue on a modern Harley, my bike has 30k miles and just passed a compression check so I can get an extended factory warranty, if the motors were such a repair problem I don't think Harley would be selling a 5 year warranty on any Harley that's under 12 years old and less than 75,000 miles.
