I just encourage all to change it out for the Screamin' Eagle version. I suspect there will be a recall, but one never knows...my fear was the tranny locking up...I'm thinking now that I was lucky.

I have 4,000 miles on my 2010 Ultra, with NO transmission problems what so ever. I did however, put in Red Line Shock Proof heavy during my 1000 mile service, like I do with everyone's bike that I do a service on. Harley's synthetic is just too thin for me. The S.E. compensator is next on the list. I wish an area dealer would replace the stock one, under warranty, but that is doubtfull. Even if I had a bad stock one, my local dealer will NOT upgrade parts and have the customer pay the difference.

I just don't know.
That was in Florida by the way! You guys know how to warm things up there! Sheese, thought I was the main course at a BBQ.. We rode there from Washington State in June. Had a great time! But, man it was hot for us old farm kids.

I'm getting quite a bit of transmission noise, especially in 1st. I've also got very inconsistent clutch engagement. I'll be at 25k by the time fall rolls around, and was planning on taking it in for the steering head bearing at that point anyway.
Hopefully nothing grenades before that.

But who knows, maybe just a noise your bike makes.
I actually even thought that since I have quiet mufflers that I was hearing things that I haven't before....
I was wrong..

I simply hope that my experience will help others avoid "issues!"
