[sumncguy]

My 2017 with less than 2500 miles on it started making noises similar to these .. but to a less degree. Ive heard it twice already.

Ill try to get a video... both times I wasnt in a good place to grab a recording. Ive already opened a case with Honda. Now I need to find a dealership in the triangle area of North Carolina that employs a Gold Wing tech.

GIven this information .. does anyone have any ideas whats going on.

I had a 2012 l3 .. 92k miles .. no issues at all .. well except for the shuddering brake when hot.

Thanks and Regards

I'm thinking the transmission is the source, but having said that, what happens when you put it in gear...have you ridden the bike while it's doing that ?

[thrasherg]

Well I would also suspect transmission, sounds like the dogs on one gear are hitting the dogs on another gear, it could also be a camshaft problem, but the speed seemed to high, I would be 80% confident it’s a transmission issue, I would strongly suggest you don’t ride it in case the transmission locks up.

Definitely transmission. Take that bike right back to the dealer, do not pass Go. I would ask the dealer to pick it up, don't ride it like that. That's a warranty issue.

Just a thought...could it be one of the radiator fans is hitting a shroud?. Not sure if revving the bike would make the fans spin faster but that's sure what it sounds like to me without being right there in the garage.

ADG (alternator drive gear) Failure - Should be warranty item if it is that -

Did you ever get this to a dealership to look at it? Inquiring minds want to know how Mother Honda is treating you.

Figured I'd provide an update.

The dealership has been very responsive. The bike made the noise just yesterday. The problem is it is so intermittent that it's difficult for them to troubleshoot. At this point it's on record and I have a case opened with honda. So I'll ride it out. I Will also purchase an extended warranty which I always do anyway.

I'll keep this post updated with any developments.
