    G'day,

    2014 Harley Davidson xl1200c
    Recently I changed my clutch out for a Barnett Kevlar clutch when I take off now sometimes I get a screech out of it, sounds a lot like the rear wheel spinning but it isn't. (I used quality, correct oil weight as recommended by Barnetts)

    cheers

    Check your primary chain tension.  I have the same bike and once I did the chain up too tight and it made a whining noise.  Not the same as a screech but worth a check.

    Damn.... Once that noise starts its a real bastard to get rid of.  My stock clutch did this and then disappeared when I installed a Barnett kit.
