loud tranny

[Torrance]

just got a brand new 05 TLD predator and i love it. but the tranny seems loud. just wondering if this is normal? any info or feedback would be great. im about to take it back to the dealer to have it checked out. thanks

Would it be the chain guard and chain making the noise. Mine is pretty loud

[Torrance]

i never thought of that thanks for the info i'll have to check it out. but it really does seem to be internal. but now youve got me thinking. thank you. merry christmas

I just bought mine on Friday, and I noticed the same thing. I haven't had a chance to investigate because I have been out of town and only took a couple of trips up and down the street on the night I bought it.

Does anyone else have any insight?

i just got mine too, and it makes the same sound, so i guess is normal

When I had mt new TLD this psring I was wondering the same thing...

Under acceleration I did not hear it but when slowing down in gear I could hear a sort of gear whine. I chcked with other 05 pred owners and 50% had then 50% did not, no one had problems.

I was told that the noise is because of the reverse that is added to the tranny, just my 2 cents.

Ive had my tld 05 pred for about a year and the noise coming from the tranny is either not as loud as before or I dont notice it lol////////////

i hear it over here. sell the worthless junk and get a 2 stroke honda

i went riding at the badlands last weekend. I'm 99% sure it's coming from the chain and chain guard. It seems to get quieter the more its ridden. Nothing to worry about I'd say...
