Why does my Road King squeak in the morning?

[XboxSteve]

Hello all,

I just wondered if any of you could tell me why my Harley squeaks when I have my first ride of the day?
The oil is fine, I've been checking that regularly, but it does seem to drink more than my recent RT and GS's.

Cheers
Steve

Bugger off the two of you

I'll get it serviced first then see what's what.

As long as you're not asking: "why does my Fat Boy squeal at night?"....

 

[Shep]

Does it squeak just as you sit on it?

 

[XboxSteve]

Haha, keep em coming!

I've also been looking on the HD Forums site and there are things for me to check

 

[verona]

probably the belt drive

My 93 FXDWG used to squeak from the rubber cylinder head mount

A quick blast of silicon spray cured it for a few months the sound always, eventually, came back

Deliverance springs to mind........

Agree with Verona clean your drive belt with some Mr Sheen or silicon spray

im still going with " it thinks its a mouse"

 

[Loiq]

perhaps it's your leather chaps....?

 

[thor1340]

Definitely the leather g-string, that needs oiling regularly

Perhaps its an old mouse on a tricycle and the chain needs oiling ?
