Squeal in rear wheel, advice needed
Written by gibinmich on 6/24/2010 at 09:23 pm


You sure the noise wasn't the infamous tweet from the exhaust? No? How about the
differential oil level? When was the last time the rear splines were greased?
Unless you bike is real high mileage I can't imagine what the noise could be,
the rear ends are pretty bullet proof.

When I left I made a couple loops around lot and no noise. Hitting highway still
nothing but at about 100 km.hr I did notice the squeal returned. As I slowed it
would quit but return as I accelerated up past 100. Not a real loud noise but I
could hear it.

42,000 km on her.
