60 mph squeak while cracking throttle
I have a 2007 Road king custom with 2000 miles and when I'm going about 60 in 5th gear and crack the throttle open I get a squeak for about a 1/2 a second while accelerating. Clutch or clutch adj? Sort of sounds like when you have loose belts on carand goose it.

I have the same thing on my 89 Tour Glide but only when wet.
It sounds like it's coming from out front somewhere but I cant really tell.
Let us know when you get it figured out.

Keep in mind that with a windshield on the bike, sounds all seem to be coming from the front. I vote drive belt as well.

RE: 60 mph squeak while cracking throttle
Went by the dealer and told them about the Squeak/Chirp. They said they would need to test ride. I said here you go. The tech came back and said he was able to reproduce the sound but did not know what it was. I asked if it was the belt and they didn't think so. They said to drop it by when they had more time to work on it. I've heard this before. I was reading the new Rider mag and they were doing a write up on the 07 Road King and they talked about the clutch and a chirp when the clutch locked up. Of course I can't imagine why it only happens when I crack the throttle.
