Thanks for the follow-up report. I have been wondering if I have a loose primary chain because I have been hearing a distinct primary rattle in the higher RPM ranges when shifting through the gears. Maybe my tensioner needs a push to the next notch. So far, nobody else hears it, or they hear it and call it "normal Harley noises". Thanks again for the post.
