Default Squeeling sound after stage 2 install?
Just had stage 2 installed at the dealership. VO2 air cleaner, RCX Tormentor headers, Rinehart 4" slip on's, SE 447 cam, and FP3. Bike runs great but after 100 miles started hearing a squeel come from the right side. Not sure if it's coming from the air cleaner or the cam chest. It's not super loud but its there.

It only does it at the slightest crack of the throttle at idle or taking off from a dead stop.

Anyone know what this might be?

Air cleaner, I'm guessing. I don't want to call mine a "squeal" but I can hear a sound usually in the garage (with music off) as I blip the throttle pulling out or as I'm parking it after a ride. Mine did it before and after the Stage 2. Mine is a lil sound right as the air cleaner kinda sucks air in. Usually my helmet is on or music is on and I don't even notice it. But its extremely faint and I'm 100% sure it's coming from my filter cuz I darn near stuck my entire ear in it to hear it. Just a couple weeks ago I had to tighten the muffler bracket and I blipped the throttle a few times to make sure it wasn't loose anymore ........and I heard it. I have the ventilator AC

I'm not sure if I described what you're hearing...............

Does it also sound like this when you shut it off?

Yeah, I think it's just the nature of the beast for the throttle body.

Nice Tweetie bird. I think it's likely how the blade fits in the bore at nearly closed. Read something about someone using 2000 grit to polish up the edge of the blade. I can live with it at this point...

Happened to a buddy and it ended up being his header heat shield rubbing something making the squealing sound. I hope it’s something that simple.

Thanks for the replies. The exhaust is something I didn't think about. I'll check it out.
