What's a harmonics sound? A buzz, hummm, woob woob, rattle, ting, please describe the sound. Harmonics is a fine wave vibration, never really "heard" it myself.

Update...changed the oil in the primary, no cupping of either tire, belt tension ok, dielectic grease on belt, didnt see any issues with the wheel bearings. I put the bike on the stand and ran it thru the gears up to 45-50 mph and no noise...guess that tells me its in the front wheel?

Could be riding surface. Do you notice it everywhere you ride? My first thought would be tires as many have stated. On my SG I have noticed some noises but my tires were cupped and it changed depending the road I was riding on.
