All,

About two weeks ago I start hearing a whine (like a gear whine) while leaning into turns. When I go straight I dont hear it. It first I was thinking brake pads rubbing or radio ground problems, but those are not it. A friend of mine thinks its the tires themselves. I bought it used with 5000 miles on it, and now I have 8500 on it. Could it be that or something else?


I have a 2013 Roadglide custom with a 12" high windshield.

 

It IS the tires. I know that has been discussed here before. Normal they all do it although I forget why. My bike does it

 

Markymannn,

Why would it start now and not do since the beginning?

 

Yep, sounds like tires.

Every now & then I hear a whine from the rear of my bike. The only way to make it go away is to stop and get her damn vodka & tonic...

 

It is the tires, and it gets much more pronounced the more wear they have on them.

I haven't heard it on new tires, but as they get close to needing replacement you hear it more.

 

I also vote for tires. Mine will whine more as they wear and get really loud when I push the twisties.

 

TIRES, just ride on til they are as slick as eel snot then change them and do it all over again!!!

 

It's tires, my RGU whines in the curves being leaned over.

 

Thanks guys. Was worried.

Now I have the possibility of buying new tires....
