squeak
Posted: 08 Nov 2017 20:11
My 75 Sport has a mysterious squeak that seems to start after I have covered about 12 miles and is then intermittent.
It seems to have no relationship with speed or anything else that I can think of, my first thought was dry swing arm bearings or wheel bearings but it is definitely nothing to do with those. I do have a slight oil weep coming from the pickup cover, and it made the noise the other day at standstill so I think it must be engine related. I shall have the side of the engine off and replace the seals over winter.
Is this something that others have experienced? As I say, it does not start until some miles have been covered, and is then on and off.
