Hey guys, I just picked up a 1984 FXWG Shovel. Isolated primary, 4 speed. I bought the bike with a freshly rebuilt kicker assembly. Brought it to my mech and had new head gaskets, and primary seal put in. Bike was running beautifully until yesterday. Now when I pull the clutch, I can feel a vibration in the handle and the trans makes a whining sound. It sounds like the noise the trans makes when the kick pedal is depressed when the engine is running. I thought it might be the primary chain but when I drained it, everything looked fine, no metal shavings, oil circulating freely, etc.. looked in the tranny today and realized to my horror, that my mechanic had forgotten to fill the trans. It was bone dry... Filled that and the bike is still making the noise. It runs and shifts fine, but I don't want to damage it if things in the trans are off. I ordered a manual, but I'm looking for input. Any help would be awesome. Thanks guys.
