After doing a fluid change there is no difference in the noise. I was being optimistic that that would help. I'm going to take the primary cover off this weekend and see if the hub nut is loose. my question is since I have it opened up are there things I should go ahead and change while I'm in there. Also any suggestions on what else to look for once I have it opened would be appreciated. Again the noise is a whirring noise when the bike is in neutral with the clutch pulled in. As soon as I put it in first the noise stops. Have also noticed an occasional chirping noise, especially when the bike is hot, like in traffic when I take off from a stop. Hope these don't seem like dumb questions but I am a total rookie when it comes to working on this bike.
I would go ahead and have Curtis express you a new hub nut and washer. Also get a new primary cover and inspection cover gasket. They're sort of square now and seal much better. Further, as long as you're in there you might as well change the seal between the primary and the tranny. Parts are cheap, taking it apart twice is not. Check to make sure your tranny is full, if it's low at all and/or if your primary fluid smelled like gear oil at all you likely have a leak. Also make sure the primary vent is clean, it's on the backside of the primary in the middle/top. It's a little nut looking thing with a screen in it. If the primary can't vent it'll cause issues.
So, new nut/washer, new seals and a quart of regular old harley primary oil or B&M trick shift and you'll be set. Make sure you put the clutch plates back in as they come out and make sure you have a service manual. IF you don't, you can find one on here to download.
