Default squeaking noise on hard acceleration

i hear a high picthed squeaking noise ( sounds like its comming from front primary ) only on a hard accel, i got 16,000 miles on my 06 street bob. i have been in there before to change to foward controls at 1,000 miles and at 10,000 miles to change out the chrome outer primary cover and did not notice any thing wrong. think this could this be the bearing ? tenisioner? stator? or? just spent 200.00 for a rear tire and now this

You may have answered your own question there! May I ask who installed your tire and are you sure it was done exactly right? If you paid someone to do it bring it back to them, they may have over tightened your belt or lined your wheel up crooked.

Yeah sounds like a belt tension or tire alignment issue. Like said previously take it back to where you last had the work done.

If it started right after the tire change then my guess is the belt is too tight or out of alignment.

I noticed a similar noise today on hard acceleration.

08 FXDF with 9000 miles. I have not had any drive train work done, other than the maintenance.

Wash your belt with soap & water.

talked to service dept at the local dealer... sounds like its gonna be the outer primary cover bearing. i thought it might be a bearing since i heard rumors of the bearings going out with 5,000 miles on other bikes, though i read they were gonna have a recall on the bearing, but decided it wasent a widespread problem.
