clicking? whiny? rubbing? grinding? Toss us a bone here.

 

Yes, I have it. It sounds like "Whoop. ..Whoop" .... The frequency of "whoops "increase with front wheel speed - independent of clutch or front brake application. The dealer has worked on the same issue with one other 2018 Heritage and been unable to stop it. Not all Heritage owners are as blessed as we are. The wheel bearings and primary were checked during the 5K service, but the sound continues.

I did not consider the front rotor, I will give it a spin test when I get it on the lift next.

 

My 18 does it. Kinda weird. I attribute it to something with the ABS. Hasn't hurt anything so far. Almost 6000 miles.

 

I had that with my 04 Wide Glide. Replaced the bearings and it still made the sound. Still does occasionally. Rides fine though.

 

Yep. Had it on mine too. Never could figure it out but I did notice that if I manually spin the dog bowl it makes a similar sound. I don't think the dog bowl is actually causing it but I do think it might be amplifying the noise from something else. I replaced the spoked wheels and eliminated the bowl and don't hear it anymore. Doesn't prove anything obviously but my theory is that it's some low level noise that you would never hear except that you have that nice transducer on your axle to amplify it.

 

I am now thinking it is coming from the rear caliper maybe not releasing all the way and rubbing disc.

 

more rubbing sound ..like a whrilll if that makes any sense..I am now thinking the caliper is not releasing all the way and rubbing on disc. Not enough to make a drag on bike.

 

mine sounds like from the rear

 

Its so hard to tell where a noise is coming from.

 

I think many if not most have noticed some odd rubbing sound when coasting at some point. Mine had it but I don't hear it anymore. Could be related to belt tension. It bothered me at first but the bike felt good and everything seemed to be in good working order so I just accepted it.... now it's gone.
