cant take it ANYMORE!!!

[ROB06]

I'VE given up on trying to find the cruisin speed squeek:bang head: :bang head: :bang head: .....
ok so i havent !!
its not at idle and not at higher rpms,it seems to be somewhere around the air box/faux tank area, ive tried everything from greasing the latch that holds the f tank on to placing foam rubber between places that look like they r rubbing tried to make it squeek when parked (should've known it would not be that easy)ive even went as far as removing his plastic bike nuts,the max w/o nuts would really:wkwk:
(which they was replaced, as soon as them being the problem was eliminated) well i guess the next step is to fill every nook and cranny with the yellow expanding foam:ummm:

Got the same thing with mine (2004 Max), I'm gonna shim-up the contact points on the cover to bike, make them a lot tighter and see where that gets me.

Agreed though it's very, very annoying.

Mines an '06 as well, but I have replaced so many of the stock parts it isn't funny...:whistlin:

Maybe one of the parts I replaced was the sqeaker(sp?)!
3/4" holes are better...:whistlin: :banana:

3/4 eh . . . Wow

Just how loud is that?

Are we talking Office Friendly smacking me around loud?

Or just make old ladies scowl loud?

Ummm What squeek?
Mine doesn't have a squeek.
Unless of course your talking about the front brakes squeeking on low speed stops.
But I'm about to fix that effin problem this weekend, Got the EBC HH Pads right here on my desk!

Oh this just drives me nuts. Happened to me through last summer. Wasn't there at first and then one day it appeared and got worse.

Sounded to me like it was coming from around the faux tank cover and air box and THIS IS WHAT IT WAS.

Pic one shows the mounting quides under the faux tank. I have drawn a yellow arrow to the support 'wire' that slots into a guide on your frame directly under the rubber mounts for the faux tank,

You can even see the shiny bit on the 'wire' where the frame guides were rubbing.

I greased it and it did not stop it for long.

I eventually bend the support wire so that the friction point did not touch the frame guides and the squeak stopped.

 

[Heretic]

I wrapped the rubber grommets in masking tape to build to up and it limited the faux tank's 'squeek', but it still happens. Drives me freakin' nuts, even with my loud exhaust!

 

[ROB06]

:worthy: gleno!!, its gone! :banana: ,that mysterious frickin squeek is gone, this was way past the little voices in the head and runnin from the guys in the white coats.
just in time for the weekend.....:cheers:

 

[ROB06]

oh yea one more thing .....so where exactly do you drill those 3/8" 1/2" 3/4" or hell those 1" holes:whistlin:

 

[Lan1201]

I have this noise on my '02. It isnt that bad and isnt always there but when i hear it if i press down on the fake tank it stops.

 

[ROB06]

Lan,
take the advise of gleno, thats exactly what it was and how to fix it.unk:

I'm pretty sure this has been posted before, check it out

Additional I got some billet end caps from a fellow in Canada. They look awesome and the exhaust is now a little meaner

 

[pageophile]

Thanks Gleno,

It was those damn @#!$% guides ! ! ! Instead of bending, I put heavy duty duct tape into the grooves. Additionally, I put a strip around both rubber grommets.

I did this after swapping out the temperature switch. So while riding around and keeping a close eye on the temp switch (doesn't go past the middle of the range now) it took me awhile to realise the squeak was GONE ! ! !

Wow, a Max that doesn't squeak and over-heat how cool is that

just had this problem on the 97. took rubber tape and wrapped the existing rubber mounts and problem solved.
