The belt/pulley combo wear in together and quit crackling so much after a bit.

I have yet to hear either of my Buells have a belt whine ! I would say it's not normal !

I got two 1125's, two XB's, and a Blast. It's normal, but louder on the 1125's.

My 09 Uly does it. You can hear it on this video. My old tube frame doesn't though, I think it's because of the idler pulley.

It's normal, but leaves after a while as Dugger posted.

Get to about 30mph, pop it in neutral, cut the engine and coast.

My tuber (S2) doesn't do it, but the 1125 does. It's lessened some with miles, or maybe I'm just used to it. I'm not sweating it.

Mine doesn't bother me either, just another glorious thing about Buell ownership ; )

Seems like the consensus is it's normal.I'll go with that.
