"chirp" sound when throttle is let off? 1 Year, 1 Month ago

Hi,

I apologize if this has been posted before elsewhere, I just really didn't know what to search. I have a 99 roadstar, totally stock except for cobra slip-ons. Has only 2900kms

I would swear that in the last few weeks that there is a "chirp" sound when I let off the throttle coming from the transmission. It also seems to somewhat "jerk" when I fully let off when this happens.

I guess the question is, is this normal, or is this something that someone knows exactly what it is because it's a common problem? If not, I'll take it in.

Thanks in advance!
Ian
