A Chirp I Don't Like
09/19/12 at 16:40:28
I parked the bike in the garage Friday night after my 1900 mile road trip and did not even look at it until today. I topped up the oil (a few ounces), checked the tire pressure, and then headed down to the gas station for a fill-up. Unlike the road trip, I did not put in my ear plugs.
There is a audible chirp when on the throttle that varies with engine rpm, not the actual speed of the bike. I do not hear it when off the throttle but it may be there. At idle with my ear next to the head all I hear is what I consider to be the normal mechancial background sounds.
Time to check the cam chain? Anything else to look for? The bile is an 07 with 8100 miles. I looked up the clutch cover gasket and see two part numbers. Off the top of your head does anyone know which one I need for the 07?
Thanks in advance and good hunting

It is probably belt chirp. There are threads on here on how to align the rear wheel, but I can't find them.
Does it do it in neutral, or stopped?

If the belt is not causing this noise, it could be an exhaust chirp.

Belt !
I used to call it a squeak, but now its a chirp;
And its kinda like the backfire,......about the time you think you fixed it, it will be back,
If you want to tell for sure,.....spray the belt w/ sillycone or WD. If it quits chirping for 2.5 miles, you found it !

Not the belt guys. It is a chirp from the muffler. I guess something has come adrift in there. I was having trouble thinking it was the belt since it increased in frequency with engine rpms and not the actual speed of the bike.
I put a mechanics stethoscope on the top of the head and down low and heard what I consider normal cam chain sounds so i don't think I will bust it open for a look quite yet (8100 miles).
Thanks for the input and good hunting

Did you figure out what the chirp is? I ask because I experienced the same thing after a 700 mile trip. In my case it is definitely from the exhaust when the engine is started cold. It seems to go away after it warms up. Just curious.

S.C.
No, I never figured out what it is. It is still there at idle when I start it up but goes away when I put in my ear plugs. My best guess is an internal component in the muffler is loose. I will just let it be for now.
Good hunting

Wouldn't belt 'chirp' vary with road speed and not engine speed?
