Yesterday when I got to my girlfriend's place, I heard a strange chatter when i put the bike in neutral and let out the clutch. I pulled the clutch back in and after a few seconds it subsided. Does this sound like a bearing issue or clutch issue?

 

My 2013 500 miles on it is doing same thing.Dealer tells me thats normal I question that.Also only does it when engine is hot

 

The gear set stack up ( the tolerances between the gears) is very loose on the Harley cruise drive six speeds and that is where the neutral rattle is coming from. When they say it's normal, it is, they all do it to some extent. Is it right ...........?

 

Thanks for the response, Mark. But I don't know if that makes me feel better. Especially since it just started happening.

 

Understand, unfortunately not a lot you can do about it other than replace the gearset. So ride it till it breaks or till you can't stand the racket anymore and then give me a call and I'll get you one of these coming.

Possible IPB,,, known issue on the 06 dynas.
Search for it and you will find plenty to read.

 

Well, my biker friends agree, Mark. But i think a little reading is in order before i risk being stranded

 

So I finally gathered the tools and parts to tear into my primary and change the drive belt while it's apart (a little over 40k on the bike now). Pulled the inner primary and the main shaft bearing race is trashed. Bearing looks good, however.

I've read about the oddities of the 06 Dyna, so I'm hesitant to use a factory part. I've looked online and see a few different options from reputable manufacturers. My question is this: what bearing should I use in my inner primary?

 

Mark above can hook you up. They have an IPB for this: http://bakerdrivetrain.com/high-torque-bearing-kit

 

Thanks, bro. I think that'll do.
