1996 RSTC Deceleration Noise

[BigSam]

I have a 96 Royal Star Tour Classic i bought about 6months ago and it has developed a new noise. It sounds like a tire or [ame=http://www.starbikeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=873#]belt[/ame] rubbing, but only when I coast or decelerate i in gear with the clutch out. i have read the vast array of threads about "chirping" and "whining" because of the gears and clutch basket, but all these mention the noise in acceleration and not deceleration. i don't have that problem, on when coasting or slowing down. I would greatly appreicate any help or advice.

 

Thanks,

Sam

 

p.s. i should note that I have already changed the oil, and the final drive hypoid oil, both with no change to the noise.

Might be the hub pins which are know to squeak..

Honda Moly60 lube is what most people use on them.

Mine started to do the same thing on the weekend. Went for a ride and on the way home a low tone whine developed when idling. Once the clutch was pulled in or I accelerated the noise went away. What could the problem be?
