Default 82 fxr clutch makes a scraping noise

my wifes gandfather past 3 months ago so she went to take care of things. she found a buick and a bike in the garage so she had me come pick them up. the buick runs great. the bike is a 82 fxr it runs but when u pull in the clutch it makes a light scraping sound. anyone have an idea what it could be?

Well you haven't provided much info about the condition of the bike or how it is configured, but a wild-a$$ guess is a start.. have you checked the primary chain to see if it is adjusted properly.

Pull the primary cover and go from there. besides you have one of the best HD's ever produced - the FXR - in my opinion - was one of the best bikes ever built by HD from Shovel through Evo. Get a manual if you are not sure of what goes where. but definately start with the outer primary cover, remove it and take a look. Not much information to start with, but write back and give more details.
