street bob chirp
my buddy just got a street bob 07. a couple months ago. he is getting frustrated because when he hits the throttle it chirps. he will be joining our forum tonight hopefully but i wanted to get a head start. i've never heard it so i can't really explain it so maybe someone else has had the same problem. thanks, vinny

That's weird. Hopefully he joins and we can get more info on how it chirps. is it while shifting?, heavy throttle? sounds interesting. I have an 07 bob as well and I have never heard anything about it

Iknow what he's talking about. Mine has a barely audible chirp to it also when its idling or whack the throttle quick. I think i'm the only one that notices though cause no one in my group has ever mentioned it and they would surely call me out on it if they heard it.

My co-workers boss bike chirped. It had to do with his exhuast. He changed it, and no longer had the problem. Normally a chirp is just caused by something somewhere is lose. I would go through and retighten everything you see.

I used to get a chirp when I got in or out of the throttle and found that my drive belt needed tightening.
