-Primary Chain: \\
+  * **Symptom: Whining or Chirping Noise** \\ A primary chain that's adjusted too tight can make a whining or chirping noise. Reportedly, the chirping noise can come on after some full throttle and hard shifting when the primary chain is too tight / bike hot. ((Gcram399 of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1529681&highlight=stethoscope&page=2)) \\ **Condition: Chain out of adjustment** \\ One method of adjusting a tight primary chain: With the bike hot and running in neutral, loosen the nut, turn the adjuster in until it starts to whine, then back it off 1/4 turn. ((wedge of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1529681&highlight=stethoscope)) Then ride it and make sure it's not whining any longer. \\
