Why does my primary make a rattling noise?
They took the bike in, disassembled the primary and did not find anything wrong. After putting it back together, the noise was still there. They took it apart again, compensator, clutch, everything and called HD Tech Support with spring measurements and whatever other info the dealer provided.
Why is my primary chain making a noise?
Do this 2-3 times in succession and you’ll notice that the noise that you thought was the valve train is almost completely gone now. Low speed riding is a bit smoother also due to less play in the chain. By doing this, the automatic primary chain will ratchet up a bit tighter if it was loose before this.
What to do if your primary makes noise?
Try looking in self help tips transmission, clutch, primary (drive train) tip #43 “automatic chain tensioner adjustment”. Basically three rapid accel/decells in rapid succession, this got rid of the noise in my primary on my 2010 Limited. Good Luck !
Why does my primary chain rattle at low speed?
Low speed riding is a bit smoother also due to less play in the chain. By doing this, the automatic primary chain will ratchet up a bit tighter if it was loose before this. The acceleration and braking causes slack in the lower strand of the chain and will ratchet it up tighter if it needed an adjustment.

What kind of sound does a bad differential make?
While there is no help for our singing, we can help you diagnose the sounds coming from a differential gone bad. A clunk, whine, or howl can signal a worn-out pinion gear, bad bearings, or a faulty gear installation.
