Default 5th Gear
What's up with the 5th gear noise some of the guys are complaining about in the 07 bikes? Not everyone has it but enough do that it has to be a design issue. What about the 06 bikes? My dyna has a 6 speed but I don't notice any additional noise. (granted that at 50 mph and up I don't hear much of anything but the wind) I don't think I have read any complaints about the 06 bikes but they have the exact same transmission as the 07 bikes don't they? It's a rainy day and I was just wondering.

I have an 06 and have not heard any noise. I have heard that 5th gear is a straight cut gear and that can cause more noise then all the other gears which are angle cut.

Yup 5th is a straight cut gear and a slight wine will be normal.
