Default TC88 Auto Primary Chain Tensioner Upgrade

Installed an auto chain tensioner from HD on my 2005 Heritage. Installed easily but, now I notice a whine when coming to a stop and sometimes at speed. It's not all the time but, only occasionaly during the ride. I've put approx. 750 miles on it. I'm taking the primary cover off and take a peek. Any suggestions?
