I’ve been having some bad clatter, sounding like the top-end, but since I’m only marginally qualified to diagnose my Sportster, and then only once I’ve taken it apart, I decided to bring it to the dealer today since it’s still under the 7 years/70,000 miles warranty.

As I was talking to the service writer about it I remembered that I’d seen some oil leaking around the transmission and oil pan and mentioned it to him. He seemed to think that it might be the main seal going, which is a bummer, but hopefully if it’s that it’s covered under the warranty. They’re also going to try to track down that clatter and are going to fix the broken fan switch as well, which was just an annoyance but since it’s in the shop already I might as well get it done.

Updates to follow…
