Hey Guys,

I'm pretty new to the forums, and also to riding my Buell! I have an '08 xb9sx with about 3650 miles on it. Last Saturday i went for my first long ride with my brother, (who rides a uly). At the end of our ride, as he was riding behind me, he heard a very distinctive noise. It sounded like a chain rattling very loudly. It only seemed to happen when the clutch was engaged. As you pull the clutch in to shift, the chain rattling would stop, and then start up again immediately upon releasing the clutch. I did a little bit of reading, and am sort of going to guess that its the Primary Chain needing an adjustment. But if that is even a correct guess, would the primary chain even need an adjustment after just 3600 miles? Again, i apologize for being a newb in dealing with bikes in general, or if my description wasn't good enough. but ask me for more info and i will gladly provide it. Thanks in advance for any and all help that can be provided here!!!

Seth

I have an 03XB9R and just had to do this on mine with only 3700 miles on it. It had over and inch of play. Check it, it only takes like 10min to check 20min if you have to adjust.

I wonder if it's got the loose crank nut....?
