Throttle Release Noise
I'm curious if any members have experienced this also.
When traveling at about 40-45 MPH, when I release the throttle there is a chirp that seems to come from the rear of the bike. The best I can describe it is if you hit your brakes and your rear tire bites the pavement. There is no feel of a skid, just the sound of a "Chirp". I'm not sure how long this has been going on since I always wear ear plugs. Yesterday after a round trip of about 224 miles (highway) traveling at about 75-80 MPH I stopped to refuel, and removed my ear plugs. Being close to home I didn't put my ear plugs back in. It only happens as far as I can tell during city riding, i.e., slowing for traffic lights and traffic slow downs. When I release the throttle the noise is audible (it's not a loud noise). When I down shift there is nothing out of the ordinary. It's only when I turn the throttle back. I checked my belt tension and it appears to be normal.
My bike is a 2019 FLHT, with Legend shocks.
Any help is appreciated.
