Not thinking it s a big issue but just wondering if anyone else has had this issue. Its on a 2000 x1, on deceleration without pulling in the clutch it squeaks. Almost like a bird chirping sound. Not sure if i need to adjust the clutch or what. hopefully its preventative maintenance. I know its not any plastic rattling or sliding together. Any help/advice is very appreciated Thanks Dan | ||

With the clutch engaged on decel, the trailing edges of the belt teeth are rubbing against the trailing edges of the teeth on the pulleys. Might simply be belt noise. | ||

Raise the rear wheel and spin it both directions ... Belt lube or silicon, "BUT" nothing that will make the belt sticky ... You drive belt should have 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 inches play on the belt tight spot ... | ||

Another factor to think of here: When engine baking, the engine will shift forward from the torque reaction. Check your front isolator for loose hardware. | ||

In soviet union, engine bakes you! Come to think of it, I think that is true everywhere. | ||

I got that bird chirping sound on my S2 Turned out to be a head gasket in the process of blowing out. Rode it to the dealer and he listened to it and said "thats the way they all sound, no problem here". A second mech rode it and the gasket popped out. | ||

Does the technician ride a BIG TWIN CHOPPER ??? | ||

Don't know about that, but the first guy slunk back into the shop when the gasket popped out. The sound was very distinctive, like a chirp. I thought it was a belt problem. | ||

I've go the chirping as well. Goes away when the bike warms up. |
