High pitched squeal
I'm starting to hear a high pitched squeal from the left, maybe from the front on mt 08EG with 23k. The closest thing it sounds like to me is the wear pad sensor on a car's brake pads. But since the HD pads don't have a sensor, what am I hearing? I'm thinking front bearing? It's not constant, just comes and goes.

I started having a similar sound in mine today. Mine is not constant, but only has a couple second gap between hearing it. Doesn't go away with the clutch pulled in and I dont hear it while stationary and idling. I am also thinking wheel bearing.

Check the condition of your drive belt and sprocket. If they're misaligned, the belt can squeak and wear too fast. Have either of you had a rear tyre replaced, or anything like that?
A wheel bearing is more likely to be a sort of grinding noise, rather than a squeak.
