#237460 Mr_Shamrock (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2901 Carb squeak on decel 2 Years, 6 Months ago   Has anyone come across a squeak coming from the carb when decelerating. It does it just once (just a quick "squeak" as soon as I back off the throttle, but will do it everytime. I have a K&N BAK if that helps.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #237461 fireman922 (User) Chrome won't get ya home, but it will get ya laid.

Mine does it because I have a driect drive after market pully without a cush drive. Budd of mine thought it was my breaks.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #237463 Mr_Shamrock (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2901 Re:Carb squeak on decel 2 Years, 6 Months ago   Thats why I love this place...I'll go check right now.

I can twist the belt a fair amount. I'll adjust it and test it tomorrow. It is funny how noises travel I would have swore it was coming right out of the air filter. Thanks guys I appreciate it!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #237519 Boatmark (User) Roadie fan, just blowin' down the road... Platinum Boarder Posts: 2733 Re:Carb squeak on decel 2 Years, 6 Months ago   Shamrock, it's the belt, mine does exactly the same damn thing! It is funny how these bikes are "ventriloquists" and can throw their voice around....   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/11/14 10:53 By Boatmark.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #237541 Mr_Shamrock (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2901 Re:Carb squeak on decel 2 Years, 6 Months ago   All hail the Road Star Clinic wise men!!!!! I tightened the belt and no more little bird chirping at me. Thanks guys. While I had it on the stand it gave me an excuse to finally remove the front brake rotor covers that I am not a big fan of as well. I have taken off (without exagerating) probably a couple dozen rear wheels on these bikes and have never come across that. Your never too smart to learn something huh?!?!?!!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
