Its an easy check. Get the gasket, you can reuse but it will seep. Open up the inspection cover you should only have 5/8 play, cold on the chain. While your there take a long screw driver and check the sprocket for play. Got the shop manual?Haven't yet, only had her a couple of months, put about 2k miles on her.

:thumbsupNope kickstand was up. I had the extended warranty transferred to me when I bought. Maybe I will give the local dealership a call and have them take a look.
Buddy of mine had the same on his 05 soft ail deluxe, it's as if he was hitting the starter button while the bike was running. We had to cut the wire so he could finish riding that day.This may be a long shot, but had this happen here to a friend's bike last year. First, does that noise sound something like your kickstand is dragging the ground? If it's something like this, Billy's bike had the same thing. Thought he had a tranny issue, and after that got proven nil, we found a bad starter button. Seems that out of nowhere, the starter would try turning over when the engine was running and made a helluva noise then it would just go quiet again.

Heard from dealer today, everything running within specs. Just another mystery in life.
