Speedo, or speedo cable

I love that sound. When its running right, mine makes the whirllie sound,,,

Could be plastic beginning to rub from vibration. Try lightly pressing on different panels/pieces when you hear the sound. If it quits chirping, there you are..........

Did you just turn 55?

 

DO you get a chirping sound all the time or only at a certain time of day?

 

What are you doing when you hear the chirping sound?

 

It absolutely is NOT normal.

lube your speedo cable and see if that stops it. Failing to do this will cause speedo cable to fail.

YES!! Around that speed it is very normal on most 1st Gens.. something about square cut gears or whatnot.. mine is like that as well... I put a little motorkote in every third oil change and it lessens it quite a bit.. at lower speeds and higher speeds it goes away completely.
