Author Message   Mark_weiss Posted on Thursday, September 20, 2012 - 11:29 am:        Then adjust your primary chain, it's loose! Just set it yesterday. I never cease to be amazed at the huge difference in rideability that this minor adjustment makes.   Hughlysses Posted on Thursday, September 20, 2012 - 01:39 pm:        +1 After I'd had my Uly for about a year, I did a LONG ride one day on a freshly graded, DEEP gravel forest service road. I probably lugged the bike ~15 miles in first gear crawling through the mountains of N GA on that road. Later when I got to pavement I noticed vibration was much worse and got completely paranoid about the front isolator being trashed or something worse. Later I even replaced the front isolator to no avail. FINALLY I thought to check the primary chain. Apparently that low speed lugging had stretched the chain or worn the adjustment shoe significantly; chain was WAY loose. A couple of wrenches and 15 minutes later, I had a "new" Uly again.   Uly_man Posted on Thursday, September 20, 2012 - 02:37 pm:        Yes. Know your bike and it will "payback" every time.   Xbkris Posted on Thursday, September 20, 2012 - 02:45 pm:        Think I will do this, this weekend. Had hoped that when i installed the bar end weights I would be able to see out of my mirrors but nope. Will give this a go.   Uly_man Posted on Thursday, September 20, 2012 - 03:31 pm:        Mirror vibs depend on many things. At highway speeds mine are now as clear as a bell. I still have some at 3k rpm and below but are much better. You will never get rid of them all.   Electraglider_1997 Posted on Thursday, September 20, 2012 - 03:40 pm:        Mine are very clear at 3K rpms. Not so much before or after.   Xbkris Posted on Thursday, September 20, 2012 - 04:08 pm:        Well I can never find neutral either. Unless the bike is not running. Dont know it that is a factor but the bike has 16k on it now and it could prob use it either way.   Bosgarage57 Posted on Thursday, September 20, 2012 - 04:46 pm:        I am having a hard time finding N as well.   Hughlysses Posted on Thursday, September 20, 2012 - 06:09 pm:        Difficulty finding neutral may be the primary chain being too tight. Overfilling the primary will also cause this.   Streetgliderx Posted on Thursday, September 20, 2012 - 09:52 pm:        i just got my bike with 819 miles on it and now i have 1500 miles on it and i already notice some slack in my primary,.... but hey i am kinda hard on it,.... wheelies are sooooooo easy!   Mark_weiss Posted on Thursday, September 20, 2012 - 09:57 pm:        For me, difficulty with Neutral is a sure sign that the chain is too loose.   Tootal Posted on Thursday, September 20, 2012 - 10:57 pm:        Shifting notchy? Mirrors blurry? Handgrips buzzy? You traded your Uly in for an AMF Harley?   Terrible1one3 Posted on Friday, September 21, 2012 - 11:59 am:        Difficulty finding neutral is almost always the clutch being out of adjustment. Do a clutch adjustment on it and neutral will find you.
