Default Heritage Wheeze
Sounds like a washing machine. Wheeze, hiss, I don't know what to call it. Bike is all stock. Dealer rode it and said "Normal". No, it isn't normal. Anybody with a heritage have the wheeze?

Problem solved. Had my Indy remove the primary cover and the chain was so loose, it was dragging on the bottom of the case. This after the dealer mechanic rode it and said "Normal".
