09 Touring models - tech bulletin to be released - noisy when hot
09 Street glide - quiet when cool, after it warms up excessive noise from transmission - but quiet when clutch pulled in, sounds like a can of rocks, initially thought it was valve train issue, but narrowed to transmission - but when you pull the clutch in, the nose goes away, let clutch out - noise comes back
UPDATE - apparently no tech bulletin coming - HD layoffs have cut their research and tech department
similar complaints from other riders on forum who have emailed me
HD is aware of problem, but has no solution - will not take bike back - noise started at 250 miles...
so much for harley warranty and the Harley Experience...local dealer has been great, but the HD rep basically said screw me....going with a victory next time...will pursue Lemon Law

apparently it's not "normal" harley tech is aware of the problem in 09 models - has plans to issue tech bulletin to advise fix - but hasn' t gotten it through R&D so if you do experience problem push your dealer for call to HD tech department

Haven't heard any out of the ordinary noises with mine. Can you describe the noise and what you are doing, besides pulling the clutch, to make it happen.
