I started hearing this whine a while back and it's been getting louder. It seems to have reached its loudest now, akin to a blower on a drag car. My pipes are LOUD if that's any indication of the volume of the noise in the video.

Has anyone heard this before? I had a Hayden M6 BT-07 tensioner professionally installed about 3,000 miles ago. I called Hayden and they said their tensioner won't make that noise when correctly installed, except maybe for the first few hundred miles.
I wonder if this could be a bearing? Synthetic oil in all three holes.

Don't know if it's a problem on the Ultra's, but the symptoms you describe sound like an IPB, a common problem on Dyna's. Is there a difference between being in neutral and in gear with the clutch lever pulled in?

 

Don't know what it is but sure would be opening up primary for sure.

 

Well, if it started after the Hayden install, I think i'd start there. Have a stock or Baker one on hand.

 

sounds like a chain whine to me ,, mabe the chain slid over to one side and is rubbin on the case or pully. i would defenitly be opening that one up and no more ridin till i did,,,, also sound like inner primary bearing took a dump

 

Why did you go with the Hayden?

 

Hard to tell from the video but as Crash said check if the clutch engagement changes the sound. Hold the clutch lever in and shift from neutral to first gear while listening.
If the chain is way too tight and the inner primary bearing is weak it will burn that bearing up in a hurry.

 

I installed the Hayden tensioner from mostly good reviews but after install the chain was way too tight. The initial whine went away, my compensator took a crap and my primary has made more noise than it ever has. Hayden says the tension on the chain is fine, I say bull cause my stock chain tensioner never got this tight. I'm waiting on the new comp to come in to investigate what's going on in there

 

that is why i stay with the stock tensioner 52k on her and never had i had to adjust the chain ,, except when i had the primary off to do the shift shaft seal,, then went with the one piece bearing at that point.

 

I HAD a Hayden installed on my 2013 RGU. Everything was good for about 4,800 miles. There was a very minor whine and over the miles the slight whine turned into a howl that just got louder and louder. I just pulled the unit out. The shoe was grooved by the chain links and the rollers started to wear into the shoe and the rollers started to remove the material off the shoe. I have two Dynas with this type of adjuster and they have performed flawlessly over the years. I reinstalled the stock unit and the bike sounds real nice now. Take a look in the primary, I bet your wearing deep into the shoe.
