  2007 harley davidson road king standard. The transmission/or drivetrain makes a whirling and clattering sound in 5TH gear and some in 6TH at highway speeds. I took to dealer for service and to investigate. I was told it was normal and there was a letter from harley davidson motoco that the noise was normal. Transmissions should not sound like this, it sounds like there IS a problem in it and I am very concerned that it could lock up at highway speed. This could possibly be fatal if it were to happen. From the service and the letter from HD it appears they are not going to do anything about it. *jb

• 10139399TECH ARTICLE TA0023: TA0023: Crankshaft Rod Bearing. Purpose: Technicians have been falsely identifying connecting rod bearings as failed due to a perception of resistance as the rods are rotated. The clearance of the Twin Cam and Milwaukee-Eight crank pin bearings are maintained to a very tight range. This optimizes performance and maintains low mechanical noise in operation. The connecting rod bore can also distort slightly in operation due to stress relaxation. As a result, bearing clearance decreases due to the contact zone broadening and the load being distributed over more rollers. The combination of a bore being slightly out of round and reduced bearing clearance can result in varying degrees of resistance through the range of motion. Axial clearance is also tightly controlled for proper alignment. For these reasons, zones of resistance can be found when the connecting rods are rotated by hand through their range of motion. Resistance during rod motion, by itself, is not an indication of a performance or durability concern.
