Yesterday I developed a loud chirping sound out of my HT. No matter if I run motor or not, pedalling or not. I got this noise. Hard to figure since it only stops when I stop.Took off clutch cover, I got plenty of grease on drive sprocket. Chirps whether clutch is engaged or not.I got no clue. Pedalled it on kickstand, cant tell where in **** its coming from. Anybody heard of this noise? Bike runs great, just sounds like loud bird....
 
Try looking under the clutch cover (right side).
:geek:
See if it 'chirps' with the cover off.
Check for rub marks on the inside of the cover.
 
took off right side cover. still chirping loud. cant really tell where.must be dry bearing somewhere...dont have time to tack it down now. Need to ride her to work. any more ideas where to look? I'll be back later..Thanks
 
Chirping

Since you said it happens whether motor running or not, pedaling or not, my suspiscion would be that it is not the motor. Definately something on the bike, probably something in the rear wheel, ie. bearings or possibly breaks.

very possible......

or the shaft & bearings between the sprocket & clutch.
 
May sound weird.... find a hollow piece of 1/2 to 3/4" pipe between 2' to 3' long. Jack up the rear wheel so you can pedal the bike. Put one end of the pipe up to your ear, and the other end on various areas of your bike... ie: clutch, pedal sprocket, Rear axle, chain guard etc. The pipe will amplify the sound to your ear so you can pin-point where the loudest chirp is coming from. Bingo! that is where the problem area is.
