2021 Limited 'clacking noise'
Picked up my new 2021 Limited Firefighter Edition just 9/19. Have a strange 'clacking noise' most noticeable on decel at 40 MPH and down. Goes away when pulling in the clutch. Harley Tech says he hears no abnormal noise. I feel this is not normal. (I fix Fords for a living) so I am the worse customer. I am very hard of hearing/wear hearing aids (not on bike) and I hear it. My 15 with 82000 miles was quiet.
Any thoughts?

Have someone ride on the back and try to record the noise.
Other than that turn up the radio and enjoy the ride.
Don't drive yourself crazy listening for noises. If something really does happen, you have a warranty.

I just bought a new Ultra Limited 114ci in August and use HD gear oil in the primary and Tranny and use HD syn3 in the engine. Mine runs quiet and do not hear any abnormal noises. Just a thought. I called HD headquarters and they confirmed it would be fine to run gear oil only in the primary and tranny.
