wierd squeaking?!

[bamadailydriver]

hey i hear a squeak at low rpms/speed sound like its from under the air cleaner or somewhere up front. i hear it more when im going slow and throttle down some. i dont hear it when i pull in the clutch either. ant ideas?

Is it coming (so to speak) from your avatar? :rofl_200:

I am going to take a shot in the dark and say that it is your faux tank cover - make sure that both tabs on the underside of cover are fitting into the slots in the frame section. If not, they tend to squeak.

The metal spring prongs that are on the airbox cover tend to squeak where they go into the groves on the frame. I put a piece of electrical tape on the prongs and it stopped the squeaking.

Yes I was in the 82nd Sig Bat doing Commo for the 1/17th Air Cav from 88-92.
Jumping out of airplanes is the most fun and the biggest rush I've ever had in my life! I miss it and a lot of times regret leaving it.

Try some seafoam, seems to fix every problem kinda like WD-40

Or your speedo cable or speedo head could be a little dry, and whining.

I had the same speedo issue..scared the crap out of me while it was screaming and took a while to figure out.
