“While riding my 2013 harley ultra classic I noticed from the day I bought it 7-9-2013 it was making a noise in the chain case that sounds like the primary chain is loose and making a slapping sound. I took the bike back to the dealer and the service manager told me it was normal they all do it. The noise got a little louder over the next two months so I took the bike back on 10-29-2013 and a service tech took the bike out and said it sounds like the chain tensioner is not working. He removed the inspection cover and said it looked ok. He said he thinks the compensator has too much play in it. …”
