anyone ever experience some weird noises when walking in reverse to park? I am experiencing that with my sportster and it doesn't sound too good. Its like a loud noise that I can't really describe.
Sorry, my description isn't really helping I will try to post a video later.

Just wanted to know if anyone had wierd noises while reversing.

 

Well, if you're moving the bike backwards then the clutch is in or it's in neutral, so the only thing I can think of right now is something with your brakes.

Can you at least determine where the sound is coming from?

 

like a chain type noise?
if so, you arent totally in neutral...

without a description of the noise its really hard to trouble-shoot it !

 

Watch the belt teeth for rubbing on your wheels pulley. It's probably the belt teeth rubbing on the edge of that pulley. You can lift the rear wheel off the ground and rotate the wheel backwards to see if that's what's happening.

 

I am in neutral. yes. I cant tell where its coming from...

 

well i hear a bit of brakes rubbing when i back my bike up , you can always have someone else back it up while you walk beside it to locate the noises

 

Same here, my stock pads would even squeak a bit when walking it backwards.

 

I hear my brakes when I am moving the bike around my garage in neutral. But thats it.

 

it may be my brakes. I will loook into it this afternoon and take a video.
