I just bought an 06 XL883 with 6000mi. for the wife. I took it for a short ride today and noticed a noise I havent heard on my Lowrider. When going down the road there is a rattle type noise coming from I assume the primary. When I pull the clutch all is quite. This is the first sportster I've ridden and I'm not sure if this is normal or not. Any replies would be very helpful.

 

Maybe loose primary chain? Might want to post over in the sportster forums though.

 

get a primary chain tensioner for your setup, if it doesn't already have an auto tensioner in it. It will help.

 

Next time try putting this in the Sportster forum rather than the Dyna forum.

Adjust your clutch and primary chain, change your primary fluid.
