Default 2002 electra glide chirping

My 2002 ultra has a chirping noise when I lift off the throttle, more in 3,4,5 gears, it goes away as soon as I pull the clutch in, or get back on the throttle, tighten belt, tightened and lubed muffler clamps and mounts, still chirping.

Spray some belt dressing on the drive belt....Make sure it's tight enough....

Spray some lube on the rubber saddle bag supports. If it goes away you found it. To fix it you can swap the rubber pieces from side to side or get new ones. Sometimes just loosening up the mounts and retightening will fix it.

Mine had the same issue. It turned out to be the drive belt. Mine was loose and a quick tighten fixed it.

Good Luck.
