First off hello folks!
I have an odd sound coming from behind the clutch basket (I believe the front sprocket of the belt system). I recently did a pretty good pressure wash of the scooter in that area and noticed after my initial ride after such when I was backing the scooter up in neutral and bike not running you hear the noise that is in the video. I originally thought that it was my starter gear stuck but its not.
Once this scoot cools down the sound will typically go away (usually what bearing and races do when their cold) when its hot its is louder than my old lady.
I also am having a hard time starting this bad boy when its hot, cold no not at all.
Any suggestions? My instinct is that its a bad IDS race or bearing.
Bike is a 2009 FLHX no modifications to tranny or engine other than a thundermax. Bike runs and shifts good, hear a whining noise sometimes when I'm scootin down the road in 5th gear doing about 65mph
Any direction or recommendations would be appreciated.
Its not my compensator btw, noise is definitely behind the clutch basket.
I also changed the primary oil 2 times and the noise is still there.
Rear wheel bearing seems to be good as well.
The chain is definitely not too tight, I'm trying to get my post count up so you can see a video.
The belt seems to be in spec as well.
