I have a lite rattle in my motor on my 2004 Harley soft tail classic I was at fort smith Harley the tech there said it had a nut loose and the rattle is coming from the right side down by the gear shift in the front please help and let me know what I need to do to fix it

The only thing I can think of that would really obvious would have to do with the heel/toe shifter or the shifter rod. Maybe the horn? Or maybe even what Lucky suggested to another fella; the kickstand. If it ain't obvious you need to pull the primary cover and look.

thanks for the reply im thinking it in the primary cover but not sure if there is a gasket on it

I'm confused (but that happens a lot)

Is it coming from the right side, or by the gear shift which would be the left side???

If it is by the gear shift, it could be the shift linkage.  I have and afer market, kind of heavy shift linkage and I can hear it rattle when idling.  If I reach down and hold the linkage that rattle goes away.

Oh my!!  Yes there is.  You NEED to get a maintenance manual for your particular motorcycle if you plan on working on it.

Did the mechanic say where the nut was loose?

WOW, I'da thought the mechanic woulda just fixed it..thats what Technicians do !!!!! Second Jimmy's rec, get yourself a shop manual before you crack that nut.

Why in the hell don't folks follow up and tell us what they found out, how it got fixed? It's like the attention span of a gnat for god's sake. Geeeeeeeesh!!!

LMFAO!!!!
post something then Never check it agene. It hale s but others can learn form the post. So it's not a total loss. 

Well at least we all learned where not to take our bikes for service/work. What kind of tech says hey there is a loose nut! Yea in his head!!
