High pitched noise
Hi all,
so, off the back of an earlier thread my primary was making a really high pitched noise, turned out the chain was way too tight so loosened and all gone!
However, would riding a Harley be fun if it didnt throw you a new problem every couple of weeks? So now, it rides a bloody dream no complaints in how it handles etc. however, two small things are happening which I cant pinpoint in my HD service manual (thank you for the recommendation btw got one for Ł40)
when I change gear, if Im going for it, Ill change a gear and when I let go off the clutch, it makes a clunk noise, doesnt affect drivability at all.
secondly, when the bike is hot, there is a high pitched noise which I can hear both by the clutch basket, and by the compensator when its in neutral, cant see if its there when its in gear for obvious reasons.
thanks all

Helps if you post year and model.
Read thru clutch adjustment, and trans shifter adjustment. It could be that, which is easy to do. Or it could be the pawl failing.
As to whine, could be the bearings, if the chain was too tight.
It's all in the book, and hdforum search.

Although a username of "TC88100th" posting in the "Dyna" section could give one a good idea
