Clutch problem?

[chippego]

I have an 09 RSV. During the Ride For Dad yesterday I noticed a vibration start. At first I thought is was road condition or a tire. As the ride progressed the bike was "clunking" going into gear, especially 4th and 5th. It got worse and started to hear a chatter when gearing down. Not sure how long the chatter was there..when riding with a group of Harley it is hard to hear much!.Also feels rough when under load going down hill. It will slip back to a lower gear under load also.Taking it to the dealer when I can get in. There is only 7000k on it so should be warranty.

Any idea of what to expect?

Thanks

If it's slipping into a lower gear, you have definite internal problems. Let the dealer figure it out and when they make the diagnosis, let them know you want to see the issue with your own eyes. Sounds like possibly something is coming apart in the trans, which is extremely rare on the RSV's.
