this is the guy i was talking to about this 07 tranni issues. Please folks don't get all in a huff about this,just trying to pass on usefull information to the forum. Look at his backround yourself and figure outif the info is of any value.

Nice looking bikes! Unfortunately he still gave you poor information.

 

The 6-speed transmission's 5th gear has straight-cut gearing which is inherently stronger, but also louder. The noise is not a "problem" nor an indication of one.

Mr. Keim may be a great biker builder, but he should stick to what he knows. There's nothing useful about the information he gave you because it's wrong.

 

Vance & hines (Bigshots)WO bafflesand Amsoil will fix any trans/engine noise.

I kinda like the noise, I know what gear I'm in.

 

So do I and once you realizeits not broken, it can be very useful.

 

I havn't noticed any noise when in 5th.

 

I just bought 07 deluxe ,it is sitting in my garage with 6 inchs of snow outside so I cant even take it for a ride,but I do go out and sit on it and hope !!!!!!!

 

thank you for thatthought on thebuilder. I would have never known that that info was bs if you had not said something. thanks. I had the same thought about the noise in that i know what gear i am in too. I have used it like that from the start. I guess time will be the only way one can tell if there is a problem with the tranni.
