Good Day All, I have a question for you all. I have a whining noise when I am doubling with my wife on my 06 Heritage. I have already had the breaks done and it did help but it is still there. Any thoughts on what it could be? When I ride solo the noise is not there. Hopefully I can solve this without having to take to the shop. Thanks in Advance.


Memo

 

Softails kinda sound like sewing machines cause of the counter balance if that is the sound you are referring to. But it should not change with weight. Get louder pipes.

 

The noise is 100% the drive belt. You need to loosen it a bit. The extra weight makes it whine because it is too tight.

 

I had that same noise once, then I dropped her off and voila! No more whining lol

 

I get the same whine when riding 2-up but only when leaning left and right.

 

best answer lol

 

I get that noise too, even with the bike not running, whenever I forget a birthday or anniversary.
