I have an annoying squeak at idle. Sometimes it doesnt do it, but it seems to do it more when its cold. It almost always does it when holding the front brake down. Im thinking it might be a motor mount. Its coming from the transmission area.... The bike is an 01 Road King with 65k on it. Do these motor mounts go bad? Could it be anything else?
Thanks,
Cory.
I have an 09 street glide that has the same exact squeak at idle when holding the front brake. Seems to also be coming from the transmission area. hmmmm. Haven't found the issue yet but was thinking motor mount but with only 20K on the bike I doubt that is it. Maybe it's just the rubber and needs some lube like others have said. I'll give that a shot. My exhaust is a 2 into 1 and I checked it and everything is tight.
