To an extent I do this with a lot of things. But not everything falls under this category. The “turn the radio up” or “f*** it” mentality applies to a lot of things but it should be diagnosed and prioritized. A possible clutch or primary issue that when/if it fails suddenly and has potential to cause damage to other components isn’t one of those things IMO.

Not saying there is even anything to worry about but it’s worth diagnosing. It’s not “normal” to hear certain things, even on machines that make noises to operate. Preventive maintenance will always be better then reactive maintenance.

 

Has the belt tension been checked lately? Heard many a belt chirp, HD and others, when the belt is just a little too loose. Easy check/fix.

 

Bike is bone stock. I bought it from an older fella I know that was original owner and kept all service receipts. Other then regular services the only thing I’m aware of that’s been done to it is the recall on the primary vent and the “plate fix” or whatever it was called the oil transfer issue from the transmission was.

 

I had a bike 2+ decades back (non-HD) and belt would chirp if rear wheel/axle was not seated/aligned properly. Hopefully its something simple as such not necessitating huge teardowns.

 

This will improve quite a bit over stock which was my main reason for doing it,I have the Muller and there's a much more stable friction zone.
The stock clutch slave felt like it was just on or off with a sudden grab,the new Muller is much smoother.

 

Exactly my experience and was hoping for a quick/easy fix for the OP as well........
