Hey guys, i know hardly anyone will see this but i need help already with my new bike. It has this knocking sound when the clutch is let out in neutral and also while crushing or gain speed up to 3 grand. I can also feel it too.

I have made a video to help you hear what its like. So far i have taken apart the stator cover and everything there seems tight, a few gears move but they seem normal that way. I can post some pics of the cover.

BTW is the the upgraded stator like i was told was put on it?

Video-


Pics-
Sorry about the blurriness

Please give me ideas, cause i dont want to wait a month and waste 500 to 1000$ taken it to HD to get it repaired.
 
While you have the cover off check and make sure the rotor nut was torqued to 300ft/pds. Everything I heard in the video is was normal, but yes the exhaust is masking whatever ur trying to diag.

You can hear the difference when i pull the clutch in and let it out. Its a knocking.
 
Sounds like clutch noise to me.

My KTM 990 sounds like that when cold, but not quite as loud.
 
Thats what im thinking Dean. I have a friend who is a mechinaic and im asking him right now. Then come later this week shell have to be hauled off to the stealership. Cause i just have fantastic luck.
 
Talked to a friend who works on HD's and he said it is probably a bad clutch bearing. 300+$ to fix...

I don't think thats a 08 or ebr stator.should have 16 or 18 poles
that rattle on decel like a dam bucket of bolts is that non functional vacum slipper clutch.
 
If its the stator nut why would it only make the sound when the clutch is let out?
 
I can affirm that noise is not normal, I owned a CR. However, that damn hydraulic clutch was the source of many issues for me during my ownership.
 
Sadly no. Yes i can. I also have noticed a new problem.

When the bike is warmed up and it idles down, if i open the throttle slowly and normally everything is fine. But if i WOT at idle down, she dies. Just turns straight off. :( why is this bike such a pain?
