yikes... still got any warranty left??? have someone check it. Or your axle does not have enough anti seize and is binding with the bearings.

 

Belt tension too tight or misaligned rear wheel will cuase belt to ride incorrectly on pullies. Either one will whine. Easy to check both of these yourself. E-mail me at jmpancoast@juno.com if you would like me to send you the information.

 

Yeah, I have warranty left, but I will figure it out myself. Dealer "techs" around here are a joke. I can do anything to my bike that needs to be done, it's just a matter of getting off my *** to do it. It only makes that noise once in a while, and only when hot. I took it in once, and the bike sat there for a few hours before they got to it, and by then the noise was gone, and they treated me like I was imagining things. They actually gave me that "It's a harley, they make noises" line! I'm done with dealers.

 

+1 on what JM said, belt tension. When I first got my bike I had a whining/moaning noise (not from the girl on the back) at speeds lower then 25mph and it got worse the warmer it was and the longer I rode. Check the easy stuff first. I loosened the belt and it's fine.

 

What was the outcome of this wheel noise? I just started hearing this noise for the first time myself. Did not do anything to the bike. Did not hear it last summer

 

Deja vu all over again. Mine started with the aborted attempt to install the True Track. I've taken it to the dealer twice to see if the alignment was off, the last time they (supposedly) performed the entire engine alignment procedure by the book but it still makes the moaning noise when coasting to a stop. Only does it when the bike is good and warm, however. At this point I think I'm going to have to live with it.

 

Donny did ya ever figure out what that noise was. My 09 is doing the same thing.

 

Hasn;t made it again since. I think that it was just a cold evening and hot brakes. Has not had any ongoing issues.
