noise in neutral

[bummy58]

The race that is pressed on the transmission shaft is the actual problem. Mine was pitted from wear when I took it apart. The bearing looked ok, but you still need to replace it also. We'll see if this new race is any better than the original.

I have an 07 Road King Classic, 18,xxx miles with the same issue. Just took it to the shop last night.

I have been hearing what sounds like a bearing noise in my 09 Electraglide Classic. It would only do it when I was stopped put the bike in neutral and release the clutch. The bike only has 22450 miles on it and out of warranty, so I tore into it myself. Pulled the primary off,removed clutch and comp. removed inner primary and found the main shaft transmission support bearing was badly worn and pitted.Looks like the snapring was in the wrong place and covering the lube hole. Have heard of others with 09's having this problem. Is this common on some bikes and not others?

I had the same problem with my 2010 Softail Custom. Now it sits a the dealership waiting for parts. The bearings and the whole main shaft. Cost-$1,300 so far.
