Unknown noise coming from bike
Guys I have a new issue that I ain't to sure of. As I go go down the road I notice a squeak coming from the front. It not like a long squeak but very short like a chirp. So it sound like a bunch of birds chirping when going down the road. If I'm just pushing it like going out of the garage,you don't hear it. It only when you get pass 15-20 mph that it begins. The only hypothetical guess i had is the bearings in the front wheel are starting to go bad. Anyone got an idea what can create a chirping noise?

If it moves at all your bearings are shot.

Being a first time Harley owner, I'm always very paranoid when I hear new noises. The other day, I thought I heard a strange noise coming from the back of my bike. Turns out it was the song that was playing on the radio and the noise was coming from the back speakers.... D'oh!!!
Anyhoo, I'd suspect front wheel bearings.

The cow bells on the front forks (mine chirp at times) or a loose drive belt can sure can make a chirp noise.
Some time noises sound to be in one place but are really in another.
