Thanks Max. I DID install a solid state flasher and put LEDs in the rear signals. In fact, today, I just installed the switchback dry/turnsignal lights in the front. Gonna convert the rears to tail/brake/signals next...
That happens with certain electrical add-on accessories, like LED lighting on the turn signals. On mine, it will go crazy if I have any flasher operating (or maybe just the emergency flashers) when the ignition is turned off.
Sorry for the delay. I blame Irma as I now have electricity again.
Rubber_Snake I asked if it was a new noise because mine has had a gear whine noise since day one.
Me, 2009 ABS with 122,000 miles.
I hear it when cruising, steady throttle, at 75 to 80. Full face helmet and ear plugs.
Seems to come from the output shaft area just in front of my left ankle.
The rare times without earplugs riding, think grocery store to gas station, first gear has a good "spooling up" sound.
I wouldn't worry about it unless it bothers you. IMO
Others may say pull the final drive and moly paste the out of everything.
Winter is coming if you need a project.
You know, you might be right about this. I'm thinking that I will pull the final drive and moly past the out of it! I can't find the Honda 60 stuff online. I think they do not produce it anymore. Is the Honda M-77 a good replacement?
