**Noise While Slowing Down**
Hey guys,
Lastnight i noticed whenever i let of the gas and start slowing down my bike started to make a whinning noise. I'm not sure what its coming from, checked fluids and it rides and shifts perfect. Kinda got me nervous not sure what it could be...Any Ideas? Thanks

How old is your bike? after a few hundred miles on my new heritage, it started doing the same thing. I checked everything, and like you, found nothing. So I brought it to the dealer, he took it for a drive and said it was normal... BS I thought. Anyways, I decided that he knows best so I just left it, and sure enough, after a few thousand miles the noise was totaly gone. Hope that helps.

Does it come from the front or the back? You should be able to rule out primary and tranny if it is doing it with the clutch pulled. So look at what else moves if it is from the front possibly a wheel bearing if it is from the back once again could be wheel bearing or like you suggested drive belt. Then there is the ever endless possibility of something internal on the motor.

sons Deuce had a whine after bout 1500 miles. we fought it till the 5k service.
Told the wrench at HD, he put some kind of belt grease on only the edges of the belt... cured it..
and he give the son some extra in a little can.
Use it very sparingly didn't take much,,,, only on the edges...not the flat..

Why I ask is mine just rolled 6300 miles and I have a slight whine that just started recently as well, but all the fluids are full and the 5k was just done last year with all synthetics. I am just monitoring mine right now.
