#94254 kena48 (User) 07 Road Star 1700 Junior Boarder Posts: 152 AIS / Sound 3 Years, 11 Months ago   I hate to ask, but I've read many posts and watched the sound video and still have a question for you seasoned riders. I know the twin is full of quirky sounds and ya gotta love'em, but... Is it my AIS causing this? It's very high pitched, intermittent, sounds just like a military hearing test, can't tell where it's comming from. Sometimes it's like a morse code or a warning beep, but the lengths of the tones are varied. ... or a teapot that's getting ready for the long tone, but bumped up about four octaves. It's normally while moving from 40 to 60 MPH; clutch in or out, very seldom heard on idle. Engine temp normal to the touch. I'm about half def, and have tenitise from working on airplanes too long. It's almost like a ringing in the ears, but intermittent.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/06/19 17:01 By kena48.   [img size=150][/img]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #94261 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:AIS / Sound 3 Years, 11 Months ago   Could be the AIS. Could also be the belt is too tight.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #94314 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 12511 Re:AIS / Sound 3 Years, 11 Months ago   I've got the same hearing problem and for the same reason. 10 years of jets will do it and it makes it real hard to detect where sounds are coming from. Like Musky said could be the belt or AIS.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #94324 PapaTom (Moderator) I said 4 quarts.

Took it to the dealer and the mechanic took it for a spin. It was the clear plastic sheet between the windshield and headlight. He repositioned and lowered it and wa-la the noise is gone. Man, it was driving me insane! Like a dog whistle or somethin!   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/07/01 16:06 By kena48.

The check valves in the AIS can make an "aark-aark-aark" sound as the system sucks in air... and that gets really annoying fast! (kinda like my kids in the back of the van sometimes! )   Logged     A Fallen Man is not a failure.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #97160 hammersly (User) Just a few more minuets Expert Boarder Posts: 430 Re:AIS / Sound 3 Years, 11 Months ago   question, how low did he re-set that inner plastic? Mine sits about an inch and a half above the headlight. And not to sound real stupid here but, what exactly does that thing do for you??   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #97226 SobaCracka (User) It's best to eat crow while fresh. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1948 Re:AIS / Sound 3 Years, 11 Months ago   Hammersly07, I think in theory it is supposed to make the shield more aerodynamic and reduce buffeting through the gap. I had a problem with grit getting between the main shield and that panel and scouring the panel (dulling the finish), so I took the advice of one of the forum members and removed that spacer panel altogether. No ill effects whatsoever.   Logged     Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access. #97230 brdavis (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 27 Re:AIS / Sound 3 Years, 11 Months ago   Make sure it's not the head light! Took me two weeks to find it but it made kind of chirping sound at about 50 - 60 miles per hour. I took off the front rim and went around the joint with black tape and it's holding so far.   Logged     Thanks, Byron   The administrator has disabled public write access.
