2006 RK Classic, 13K miles, stock everything [&:]...I'm getting a loud squeeking rattle, which sounds to me like an engine mount. I'm completely ignorant when it comes to the rubber mounts ('77 Sportster, 2003 FXST before this). Is this common? The sound's coming from the rear; it almost sounds like it's coming from the saddle bags or the exhaust, but they check out to be secure. Plus it has that rubber sounding squeek to it.

I'm going to be checking the engine mounts as soon as I have a second (while washing the bike this weekend).

Any thoughts? Thanks!

 

If it's coming from the rear it's probably the rubber mounts for the mufflers. Lube 'em just a bit and keep on riding.

 

Thanks! That's exactly what I like about this site...
