Default odd noise

well to start things off I have a 03 sporty 1200. And I have been getting a squeak when i roll off the throttle. and it is only when the clutch is not engaged. It happens in all grears and I can't tell where it is coming from and I was just wondering if anybody has had this happen. Every thing seems to be running great. I have had no problems. But I just want to know what the squeak is and see if i can fix it. Thanks

When's the last time you lubed your cables?

The cables are brand new. They were just put on last week on the 15th of this month. And I'm new at this whole Harley thing so it mind sound dumb but how do you lube them. Do you just take them off the controls on the bars and spray them with wd-40. Thanks

Buy some cable lube from your local Indy shop, comes with a little needle to fit in the sleeve and lube away. Seeing as how your cables are brand new I wouldn't worry about them not being lubed though, you may just need to squirt some WD on the pin in your clutch lever.
