Greetings from Tanzania, east Africa, I am new to the site and first time owner of a trike (HD Tri_glide 2012) and it’s been almost 20 years since I was riding a Harley steady. (Been in unfriendly places) I am an American but work overseas. There are only about 5 other bikers in Tanzania and NO Harley dealers so we just try to share our limited mechanical knowledge. I will say one thing riding through the country is remarkable. Roads are good but not great. Its common to pass a giraffe or two and unlike most people believe that all of Africa is hot, Tanzania has the largest Mountain in Africa, Mt. Kilimanjaro (same as a good beer name). So I do have to throw on some leather sometime.
Down to business; I have a noise (rattle more or less) it’s hard to describe. Coming from the primary chain case. ( I think) I would assume that the primary chain is loose. Especially as I downshift it is more noticeable. In the old days I remember there was a small section that you could unscrew and look inside then it had a tension screw. Reviewing my manual I do not find this option and it states the trike has an automatic tensioner? so this means it can’t be adjusted or its another problem? I seek all advice. Sorry about the loose description. There are a lot of bumps and poor roads in the city so maybe something vibrated loose. Pleasure to be part of the site and willing to hear from anyone about anything!!!! Sorry for the lengthy thread.
