Hey all, I bought a 2005 XL883C that had only 4000 miles. It's obviously in great shape. The only thing there is a whine in the back half of the motor. It whines louder as I am decelerating/downshifting, but you can hear a little as I am accelerating. It does seem to be in all the gears 1st all the way to 5th. It's not horrible but you can hear it over short shots with quiet baffles. I took it to a local shop to test ride and they said it is on the "normal/loud" end of the spectrum.
What do y'all think? Any suggestions? Ride it till it becomes obvious? What I should look at? Normal?
This is the first sporty I have had.
Thanks
Could the belt be too tight?
It seemed tight so I loosened it a bit and it didn't seem to change it.
change the transmission oil, adjust the clutch, adjust the primary chain.
If it still whines - just ride it.
You need louder pipes.

Did the trans oil and adjusted the primary, will try the clutch.
But so far....... I am just riding it. Maybe I just need to go back to regular baffles......
Drag Pipes will fix it right up :SM: :pop:
