On my way to Laconia this year in 7 hrs of pouring rain I started hearing a noise coming from up near the compensator. it makes the noise all the time in neutral in gear sounds like a supercharger. Listened with a stethoscope and noise comming from by the compensator. anybody else have a similar noise? Driving me crazy.

 

Check your primary oil level and auto adjuster for wear (under the inspection cover).

 

I should have mentioned that I changed the fluid and the noise is still there

 

I absolutely LOVE that sound, I wish it was louder in my 2014.

Sorry, I know that isn't what you are looking for, but.... You could run a 60w oil or something thicker, might quieter it down some.

Would like to make mine louder.
