RE: The '07 Tranny Saga...sorry the 'sound'
Those that are unhappy with the 07, sell the damn things already if you are not happy with HD's response.
Go out and buy a Goldwing - problem solved.
No more noises what so ever.
There's nothing we can do about it here. This has been an ongoing issue now for over 2 months.

And until Harley Dung fixes it this will never go away. It might just be here forever.

Dave_B is 100% correct! Unlike him, I am knocking Harley Dung. I think they took our money and skipped town, because they sure aren't telling us anything but "nothing is wrong with it, ride it and enjoy it". BSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!

I think some of the bikes have a whine in 5th, and some have the whine + rocks in the coffee can issue. I have ridden both on test rides. The whine alone is not the problem. My problem is plunking down 20 large on my dream bike to get the whine + rocks in the can problem. I tune in here daily hoping to someday read, "Harley fixes the 07 tranny problem."
When I know this problem has been fixed I will go straight to the dealer and bring my bike home! Come on HD get it done, I want a new bike!

Yea, and this whole tranny noise thing is one of the main reasons that I cancelled my '07 FXSTC order last week. Got my $500 back and will wait for the '08's. So this issue may be starting to have an effect on sales of the new bikes. Behooves Harley-Davidson to get a solution ASAP.

I have a quick question. Weren't all five gears in pre-07 bikes of the straight cut variety? If so, how come we never had problems with overly noisy transmissions in the past? Other than the clunk/click of my bike going into first, I don't have any noise.
I don't see what having a straight cut gear there in 5th position has to do with the noise....I think its just something altogether new about the design. Maybe they went cheap on the shifter dogs or something so its not fully in gear in some places or an alignment issue of some sort.

2075 miles on my 07 Heritage and 5th gear noise is not noticable when shifting into 5th at 55 or higher. I have never had a wine or marble sound in 5th, it's is more like a chug as if to say please stay in 4th you are not going fast enough to be in 5th. I will say that it has quieted down extremely since my first service. I have syn3 in everything so maybe thats part of it.
There is absoultely zero noise when I ride it like a sport bike away from a light lol. Do you guys think that just maybe 5th could be geared a little taller and low rpm's magnify the sound? Driving on local streets or back roads my bike is very happy just staying in 5th crusing at 55 or 60 with no noise.

I don't doubt that there are some serious issues with some tranny's out there. Again, for you guy's, I feel your pain and hope it is resolved for you soon. I am glad that I am not in that situation myself. Good luck and hopefully we'll be reading some posts soon about what was resolved for you...........
