I bought a new trailer a few months ago for my Sturgis trip this year, love the trailer and it pull great. While on the trip I began to hear a noise coming from the primary area and I cant remember if I heard it before the trip started. Bike ran fine and did great pulling the trailer except for this new noise I was hearing, when I would stop the bike and put it in neutral is when I would really hear the noise. Well I make it back home and had to take the bike to the shop cause the CC switch went out and I asked them to ck the noise also. Turns out something to do with the clutch spline failing and was causing some other things to fail. Hard to think if was from just pulling a trailer and the dealer is not telling me that at all. Just wondering if any of you guys that pull trailers have had problems with the primary and clutch area. Bike had 41,000 miles on it before the trip started and it is all stock. Sure glad I had the extended warranty.
