RE: 2007 Tranny problem!
Most of these dealers cant duplicate the noise w/o knowing how to get it.In my case my dealer took it home w/him 2 days plus rode it again this AM and couldnt hear it.This makes me believe that this may be more widespread than what has been mentioned.Like I said this isnt caused by lugging motor,though lugging motor will let you hear it better.My made the noise today on dyno at @ 75mph,it would do it lwr and Im sure it would do it higher.Youd never be able to hear above that on road w/all other surrounding noise.If you can do it on the road,then you will be able to hear it on the dyno.You will hear this isnt just a little rattle.It may take your throttle hand to bring it into tune on the dyno.My dealer couldnt get it,I got it right away.I also called HD C/S and gave them an update on what was heard and by whom.These bikes should be great if we can lick this noise.

"Someone said they changed out there pipes, the whole exhaust. Not sure were he got it. The sound stopped, not just drowned out." I was wondering the same thing... I am wondering if it is the exhaust mount on the tranny. A true dual eliminates this mount I believe. All I can figure it is RPM related and whatever is causing it is resonating terribly.

I had the noise but didnt realize it was as audible till standing next to it in an enclosed room.I will be there when rep shows up.The dyno is the best way for him/them to hear it.If this is it I cant believe the factory hasnt tried it.But if this is what they also hear and have run it the same way-on a dyno-then I can see why they are scratching their heads.You cant just point your finger and say its coming from right here.

RE: 2007 Tranny problem!
Could what we are hearing be detonation/pinging??? The bikes are running lean. It happens under certain rpm/loading... I have never ridden a bike with a detonation problem, so I can't relate it. But I have heard some of my old cars do it... I mean new pipes require a tuner... tuner richens things up... pinging is gone. If the PCIII install eliminates it I would love to hear about it. I so bad want to put rinehart true duals(when they come out), PCIII, and A/C on the bike... if I knew this eliminated the problem I would jump as soon as the true duals and PCIII are available for my 07.

RE: 2007 Tranny problem!
What I heard today was not detonation,pinging.Very mechanical sound that kept in tune w/valvetrain.Sounded like-now Im not saying this is the cause-rocker arms hitting or just touching surrounding casting,maybe valve spring related.Like I said Im just guessing,the bike wasnt on machine all that long,basicly only to have someone hear the noise.This man stopped what he was doing on a busy day to get me out of his hair.And I cant thank him enough for that.This bike will get its chance next week to dig deeper.

pinging,,, yes deff!! if your tooling along and grab a handfull of throttle , like to pass,, youll hear above the motor sounds,,, a tinny clinck clincking clinkityclink,, sound,/ thats spark knock, aka ping,,,, but thats not what PITGUY and the rest are refering to,,,,, its the 5th gear whir,with an attached metal clankscreach I call it, and it gets worse as the bike gets hot I think it should be called chatter, LOUD CHATTER
