Default clutch decel noise
Ok I have a new noise and Im wondering if anyone has experienced this one. On decel at low speeds and right before and sometimes as I pulled he clutch in I hear a noise down around the clutch area. It sounds something like between a clunk and a metallic pop. This is the only time I hear it. Anyone with this experience and your opinions appreciated. My ride is an 09 Ultra with the Big bore stage ll 103 with 255s

It's probably the compensator. Was it ever upgraded to the SE version? If not that's my guess.
