Default 07 Ultra transmission 5th gear noise

I posted the following on the primary/transmission message board. If you have an 07 making a rattling noise in 5th gear. It would be in your best interest to take it back to the dealer asap. The whineing is normal but the bucket of rocks ain't.



I took my 07 Ultra back to the dealer Tuesday morning. I just got off of the phone with the dealer today. He said he called the MOCO and they told him they were sending him a new transmission for my bike. He told me as long as he has been service manager at the dealer. He has never had the MOCO not give him any guff at all about a major component change under warranty. He was more than a little surprised. He said I should have my bike back in a week to ten days. I can handle the whine but riding something that sounds like Eli Whitney invented it is too much to ask. I think this problem is a little more wide spread than it appears.

A friend of mine was looking at the 07's and our salesguy said that all the 07's run rough in 5th, but it's nothing to worry about ...?? Needless to say, she kept her 06.
Good Luck on yours and keep up posted!
