from reading forums I think its a compensator problem, but would like to be sure to know I am headed in right direction
Noise initially started when warm/hot at 300 miles - really noisy thought it was valve train noise, but found that when I pull clutch lever in at stop, most of the noise goes away. It was really noisy with break in oil, but when changed to synthetic it seemed to cut the noise somewhat
maybe separate issue but between 2800 and 3500 rmp I hear a noise like a tin can full of bolts being shaken horribly annoying
2800 rmp noise has increased as the bike has more miles on it now up to 2500 miles
bike has stage one kit - heavy breather, monster ovals...
According to owner of HD shop - HD is aware of problem but the issue hasnt found a fix or isn't trying - have been pushing dealer for solution since May but no luck
I plan to add the Screaming Eagle Compensator P/N 40274-08 and Clutch hub (37976-08), but am not sure if I should go to performance Race Clutch Hub Kit 37976-08 because of the heavier pressure for clutch lever
