Default 6 speed trans

I just purchased a 2002 Electric Glide with a Screamin Eagle 6 speed. 3rd, 4th, and 6 gears are making a loud high pitched wineing sound, especially when in 6th gear. Does anyone have any information that might help me resolve this problem or is this a normal sound with this transmission?

Better place for this question is down in the tech section...good luck, I have no idea on your problem. If it's under warrantee, I'd ride it back and let them figure it out.

Welcome to the forums. You didn't mention if the bike is new and bought under warranty? If so, definately go back to the dealer.
