#146308 rick (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 4 screeching noise 3 Years, 5 Months ago   Looking for some help here. My 2001 roadie makes this awful high-pitched scraing/screehing noise at a variety of times. Happens when I hit a bump (sometimes), happens when I shift (sometimes). Even happens sitting still-sometimes. Thought it was a loose whatever, wbut can't find anything loose. Sounds like its coming from front of engine, or fork. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks. rick   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #146310 HoustonCH73 (User) she's gone............ Gold Boarder Posts: 967 Re:screeching noise 3 Years, 5 Months ago   well if when you're stopping then its likely your front brakes. some noise is normal but a screaming cat is not. if you're downshifting then its likely a loose belt. if its when you're sitting still then you mibgt want to see if you have any oil in your engine!   Logged     If you are going to do something, do it well, and leave something witchy....   The administrator has disabled public write access. #146314 Rayjay (User) Friends make life enjoyable.

Pull your tank off and rub some ivory soap or carnuba wax on the rubber tank mounts. (Unless there's some special rubber lube you can use.)   Logged     Ray   The administrator has disabled public write access. #146315 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:screeching noise 3 Years, 5 Months ago   If it does it when you're setting still it must be something to do with the motor or the AIS. Is the AIS still hooked up? Oil good? Transfer case oil good? Does it shift ok? Clutch feel ok?   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/12/17 14:37 By Musky.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #146321 DrumDon (User) Real men have twins!

The "another chirp" string sounds like the same problem. So, could be AIS, tank, or headlight housing. can't be belt--does it when stopped sometimes. And, yeah, I've got oil in the engine! I'll report back when I find it. Thx--new to this forum, very helpful. rick   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #146403 slezy (User) life is short enjoy every minute Platinum Boarder Posts: 2068 Re:screeching noise 3 Years, 5 Months ago   rick   Logged     life is once enjoy it to the fullest! bbcode   The administrator has disabled public write access. #147166 rick (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 4 Re:screeching noise 3 Years, 5 Months ago   Found the problem!! It was the gas tank. Apparently one of the rubber grommets tore loose and fell off--it was gone. Caused the noise whenever it vibrated at a certain level. This is the same problem as was described in the "chirping" thread. Anyway, thanks to all who offered ideas. rick   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #147168 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am..
