| | Posted : 19 Sep 2010 - 23:54 Post title : Pully squeal or chirping sound around 2200 rpm | | | Is anyone else getting a loose pulley sound at idle and a squealing pulley sound around 22-2300 rpm?
I am and it's getting louder with time, it sounds like it coming from the motor.... I am starting to wonder if the dealer tightened my belt too tight or could the be something internal the will soon break.... Or is this simply a new noise that will go away in time, I have heard this for a while but the last 700 miles it has gotten very loud (7k miles on bike)

Seems to happen when it's too loose, and it doesn't have to be way too loose either. Just a bit loose can cause it. Also seems worse in cold weather.

| | Posted : 20 Sep 2010 - 03:47 Post title : Re: Pully squeal or chirping sound around 2200 rpm (Re: daz) | | | If the noise you're hearing is coming from the rear wheel or hub area,more then likely the rubber insulators inside the wheel between the wheel itself and the drive cog which fits into the right side of the wheel, are dry.I think I posted this in another thread.Anyways,I was hearing sounds coming from the rear wheel on my T Bird which were getting louder but more pronounced when coming to a stop or making a turn at slow speed.When I changed that rear tire is when I discovered these rubber insulators in the hub.And since I had balls with rubber insulators on my previous machine and knew the fix for it,I knew just what to do with this machine and the noise is now gone.

I can hear a slight chirping at idle and the very bad at 2200 to 2300 rpm, it then goes away...
It goes from sounding like a pulley to a supercharger at times......but is not from the rear wheel as you can hear it at idle

You can hear this at idle when neither of the are moving.
It's a "chirp, chirp" noise at idle and a rapid almost solid squeal at speed.

I will have it checked out at next visit. It is an engine noise without a doubt. As I am on my second bird because of warrenty issues I am not too worried about how my dealer will deal with it. I would be interested to know what it is though.

I asked them to at least note it on my information...no telling whether that was done or not

on his suggestion, as do I all. WD40 is fine for rubber.
I would guess, (only) that at idle you may be hearing vibration squeek that increases to rotation noise.
The rubber, cubi-zoids...what do you call solid trapezoid shapes? They exist to spread the massive torque
load from the axle out to the bowl of the hub. I think he just sprayed in the crack.

| | Posted : 25 Oct 2010 - 16:42 Post title : Re: Pully squeal or chirping sound around 2200 rpm (Re: daz) | | | Very Possible - I would agree with the cush drive issue. My bike started making noise at about 5000 miles. The noise at Idle I have not noticed but can see where it would come from especially when the clutch/engine is cold. If you might notice the clutches are stickier when cold and
even when the clutch lever is pulled there is still some friction. Try pushing the bike in gear with the clutch pulled and feel the friction. At
idle with the, clutch in, some rotation will transfer to the rear hub (Squeak!).
I hear it at acceleration and deceleration.
I will try some soap solution spray in the hub when I think about it before a ride to try and confirm. My Speedy cush drive always showed sign of rubber wear when a I looked with balls of rubber inside. Never any squeaks though.
