Harley Davidson Primary Noise

- So I am doing a bunch of work on my 2015 Ultra Limited that started with a cam chain tensioner issue. While I am fixing that I wanted to address all the noise in my primary. Most of the noise is from the Compensator but I also have a howling, or humming noise which I think is from my clutch hub bearing.

Thanks for doing this I know it was a year ago you did it but I didn't have this sound a year ago, I think that's what mine might be too!! I don't believe it's the compensator Hub the nut may be loose but I don't believe so I will check it!! again thanks take care.
No problem brother. Let me know what you find in there.
@@Notsosamurai1 will do might be a couple days before I get to it!!
Thanks for making the video bro. I am experiencing the same noise from my 92 Heritage. Was this the source of the noise or was it the transmission shaft too?
No it was the clutch hub bearing and basket was all notched out and chattering.
@@Notsosamurai1 that’s good to know. I’ll be tearing mine down next week. Again, thanks for the video.
Hey brother thank you for making the video, very informative .
I just had my whole bike redone ,2005 15th anniversary fatboy.
I had a local Indy do the job.
The ipb bearing was making noise he replaced it with the upgraded to the double row bearing,and a new clutch hub assembly, but now I'm getting a racket and chattering from the primary .the compensator is the old style ,not sure if I need a spacer on the outside of the compensator nut. do you know anything about that thank you? I know there's a spacer that goes in front of the rotor which is standard.
But the compensate is still sounds loose like you said when everything's back together with the manual tensioner you will hear the compensator preload at low RPM and idle when driving 50 it's fine. It sounds like the primary chain or the compensator preload?
I would look in to upgrading your comp if I had the older style. Those springs in the older style where week and wear out fast. I have seen people put spacers in and make it work a little longer but I wouldn't do that. It might not have enough movement to work correctly at that point and basically work like a solid gear. Let me know what you decide to do.
@@Notsosamurai1 ok, ty so much for the quick response, this primary noise is very trying, esp with my OCD!!!!
@@-MrRichBiker1967 Ya it bugged the crap out of me also. It chattered at low RPM under load and made all kinds of noise at idle. The Harley Comps are garbage. My buddy shattered his screaming eagle comp on a 2019 Road Glide Ultra. No engine work, just exhaust and a tune. He got on it kinda hard but not wide open and it shattered on him.
Did you resolve the clutch/transmission noise? I have the same issue when I pull in the clutch the noise goes away. I did find like you that the clutch hub bearing was making noise. I cleaned the bearing to resolve the noise in the bearing but have not assembled it yet.
that is a Inner primary bearing, just had mine upgraded to the double row bearing, to replace the race, that walks in and out on the mainshaft!
@@-MrRichBiker1967 Mine is 2015 so it appears that double row bearing is not available for probably anything newer that 2007. I am looking for a solution to using the OEM replacement...
Dude thanks for your post. That’s exactly the sound mine is making 03 RK. She got really bad so i trailered her home & dropped at the shop. Im thinking of replacing the compensator just for good measure since hes already going to be into it. Would you say thats good pm?
If you have some miles on her then ya I would. Also have them check your clutch basket for grooves and check the bearing.
@@Notsosamurai1 hes pretty certain the problem is in the clutch. So im considering of course upgrade on compensator as its a pumped up 96” bored out with andrews cams. Im hoping to get more feed back on the dark horse compensator, is it worth the money? Over screaming eagle?
@@brucefell8092 Ya I would go with the dark horse. Even the screaming eagle comp can't bandle much power and is prone to break or wear out the springs and make a huge racket. The dark horse is a very solid piece. It does give you a little more vibration at lower RPMs because it doesn't move as much as the stock comp but I can deal with that over worrying about the stock comp just breaking on me.
@@brucefell8092 I am completely happy with my BDL compensator
How many miles on the bike when you started noticing the clutch noise?
I bought it used so Im not sure if it was ever replaced before I bought it. It started for me at around 75000.
you should buy a hayden tensioner and darkhorse has a new compensator and it works really good!
Ya I am debating between the dark horse and baker compensator. I might try the hayden when I get one of those two comps.
Was it making a knocking noise I checked compensator it was good sounds coming from clutch
Mine was the comp and the clutch. Replaced everything in there. Now my transmission is making clunking noises and chattering a little. When I rebuild the engine in a year or so Im going to rebuild that as well with a baker kit.
@@Notsosamurai1 I replaced everything except for the clutch hub and shell but all bearings plus a new Harley transmission and still have transmission clunking and clutch whirring noises. I have it apart now so considering the double row IPB bearing as my new race looks chewed up after 2k miles. Maybe my new HD replacement transmission is crap too!
@@Notsosamurai1 What did you guys find wrong with your clutch hub and shell?
@tonykesler9415 Mine the bearing was bad and the the clutch basket was chewed up where the clutch disks touch the teeth on the basket. I replaced the whole thing with a assist and slip clutch from the newer models
Was that the problem ?
I had multiple issues but I replaced the whole clutch because of the bearings and the teeth for the output shaft where worn and the basket was notched out from the clutch plates.
