The belt squeaks when it gets loose.

If it sounds more like a churp than a whine then it is your belt (loose).

Re:Whinning noise 6 Months, 1 Week ago  
mine made that sound when you let off the gas, it is the plastic pieces that are in the drive pulley cover more than likely, take it off, clean & grease, simple fix, musky told me about them

Hey, Raddad...
Mine has a whining sound when I ease off the throttle too...
But, to me it sounds more like...
Waaa! Whyyy are we going slowww... I don't waaanna go so slowwww...
I think my Star is trying to tell me something...

BTW: A Road* doesn't develop "Problems"... they acquire "Features"...

If it is more like a whishing sound coming from the front end it id the pads on the rotors no big deal.

I figured out what it is....its the sound a Harley makes when a Raodstar passes them...

mine did it as well, and it was the belt on mine yours might be different..
