Go you have an '07? Could be the new auto-tensioner in the primary...makes a "whirring" sound. I put one in my '06 and thought "Ruh-Roh" (Astro), I'm George Jeston. LOL! It gets less noticable after you put some mile on it. If that's it, I wouldn't worry about it.

I think my bike was just running too lean. I installed the SERT, SE Air Filter, SE Slip-on and it's been fine since then. No more tink tink, just a solid Po-Ta-Toe like a Harley's supposed to sound.
My dealer told me that they couldn't get the SERT for the 07s yet. Do you remember the part number for the tuner?

There is no 07 race tuner, they are using the 06 tuner and the one or two maps included for the 07, but these are EPA regulated and will not do what most want unless your dealer does your map setting using a dyno.

Dealer told me same thing and not to waste money on that setup and to wait for power commander with dyno tuning.
