2012 FLHXSE3 5th gear whine
« on: July 20, 2016, 08:22:25 PM »

Has anyone had an issue with a 2012 FLHXSE3 LOUD transmission whine in 5th gear above 3000 rpm (70mph) gets louder and higher pitched, then goes away at 4000 rpm (90mph)? All other gears are quiet. Nothing at all in 3rd, 4th or 6th.  5th is quiet under 3000 rpm... I'm thinking it sounds like a bearing whine, but 5th gear is fixed to the mainshaft..?  I run Belray 85w140 hypoid gear oil.  Just got the bike in January 2016 and had 4500 miles on it.  Now it's at about 7400.  I changed fluid and it was clean.  No chunks on the magnet.
