bigdogtech01 - you nailed the problem!

[mofaster]

bigdogtech01, you were right on with your troubleshooting, nice work, and thanks to everyone. Turns out a few teeth on the charging rotor broke off, and that was causing the noise, because it was moving around a bit. Tech said, they would of called that a warranty issue if BD was still around, since the bike only has about 3500 miles. Luckily, they were able to order the charging rotor from BD performance parts and should be here on Thursday...let's hope.

"Listening to the noise it sounded like your compensator sprocket in the Primary is loose. I know you said you found the noise. To me, when you shut the motor off, you can hear it clunking around. Could be a loose primary chain as well, but usually when you hear the primary chain move back and forth and clunk around when you turn it off...this is caused from having a loose front sprocket in the primary. Just keep it in mind if the noise comes back. If it is loose and is not fixed, the Charging Rotor will end up wearing out on the splines of the Crank shaft."

Thank you John. I think we owe it to this site and Tim ( BubbleHead )cause if it was not for him and his site we may have never met. Good people on here and lots of knowledge as well. Glad to be your friend John. You and your wife are great people.

Yes it did
Not sure what is wrong with my leg yet. Any members on here that are a Doctor? No one seems to know what is causing the pain and swelling. Some days are worse than others. Today it is just a constant pain in my foot and some of my leg. Sometimes it feels like someone is driving a knife right into the bone. Makes it hard to ignore, but that's all I can do for now I guess. Worse part is the fact I don't have any health Insurance.
I'll be riding and target shooting this weekend so that should help to ignore the pain

Thats gotta suck if I had the money I'd send ya a couple thousand to go to a specialist and get if fixed or find out what going on. Target shooting should be a great way to release some stress!! Have a blast
