| Description of the problem | Transmission when shifting sounds like its coming apart-and hard to get in gears- and jerky-not smooth---very loud klunks and klangs thru all gears. Hit a bump/pothole sounds like its falling off bike-city traffic on and off throttle klunks and klangs--is so loud others riding next to me have said they can hear it . I have been to 2 different dealers--they tell me its normal--not !!!--so loud its embarrassing-so jerky wife will not ride with me- i am afraid its going to lock up while driving or come apart internally and put me down. I have talked to a few others with same issue-1 other rider in the shop with same issue--harley will not help-----its not normal--- sounds so noisy it scary. |
