Whistleblowing
I hear a sound like a whistle blowing after passing 35-40mph. I did not identified the blower but it is somewhere in the front/right. If someone had this experience please let me know. I have a 2002 RK with LRS winshield. Thanks a lot!

That's a good idea. I'd put a piece of tape over the hole and take a ride. If the sound is gone, you need to turn the axle.

there may be (depending on year) a rubber plug/cap on the intake, sometimes it comes off and causes a whistleing sound...it is right on top behind the air cleaner..

And the winner is....clarkchriston! Yes, you were right, the whistling sound was from the headlight trim ring. Thanks for the tip! I also tried to cover the axle's end but that was not the source of my whistle.
