Default Chirping Clutch

I've got an 84 Wide Glide with a four speed tranny. It sounds as if there is some chirping coming from the clutch when I'm under power. If I pull in the clutch or back out of the throttle the chirp goes away. Any help out there?

I have the 4 speed but with the belt,likes to chirp at times but it's been under control lately. You have the chain I believe,maybe your primary chain needs adjustment,inner primary bearing is worn. Check simple stuff first....

If it's belt drive ck adjustment. If adj. is good clean the belt. Dishwashing soap and a nylon brush.

Lubed your clutch cable lately? If not, try it. I seem to remember that being the solution.
