Question Help

Hey guys, I have a high pitch whining noise when I pull the clutch handle, sounds like it's coming from front of primary. I have tried adjusting the clutch freeplay and also tried clutch adjustment at the pressure plates. Any ideas. The bike is a 79 flh shovelhead 4 speed. Thanks (I hope)

Give it time, there are a few people here that may be able to help! (I am not one of them in this case!)

Re: Help

Ditto on what chuck said.
Been there and done that with a 77 super glide. Didn't have a clue and burned the darned thing up - bearings were powder when I pulled it apart to replace it.

Re: Help

thanks for the advice, it was the throwout bearing. Not much left of it when I opened the cover. All better now. Cost me a whopping $15.00 to fix. Again thanks for the help
