No one thinks you are an idiot.....but you do sound a little clueless as what the next step should be or where to start...so maybe start by draining the primary and inspecting the oil...if you have a repair manual read it before you pull the outer cover and check the adjuster...look at the chain and sprockets ,check the clutch housing and internal components inside and out of the basket...Pull an inspection of the stator assembly ....next step is to pull the transmission and inspect the bearings, shafts an gears.... once you have all the components out of the primary and transmission apart and still don't know what to do next .....take it to a trusted repair shop with all your stuff. Or before you go through a lot of effort that might not get you any closer to finding your problems...take it to a trusted repair shop. If I didn't know how to do any of the above and did not have a repair manual, I would take it to a trusted repair shop...Good luck and Let us know what you find !!!

 

I'm probably just gonna take it in how much do you think it would run me if they had to do all of that at a HD shop ?? Juat so I know what I'm looking at spending

 

I'd plan on 100-200 for diag, and the total repair bill would depend on what's wrong

 

It might be worth a phone call to a shop and explain what the issues are....let them hear from you and maybe they have an idea !!!

 

Thanks I'll let you guys know what I found out

 

Maybe the primary chain adjuster has failed to ratchet up and the chain is running loose.

 

Also check the condition and tension of drive belt and sprockets.

 

Aww C'mon now ... Harleys don't have "Problems".....
