drivetrain noise

[gator37]

I have a squeak in divetrain of 91 venture royale.It sounds like a squeak you get in u-joint of car,speeds up and slows with speed of bike. Someone indicated the is a auto ujoint the will replace the $100 yamaha part for much cheaper. Can anyone help with the part and/or suggests as to cause of noise if it wouldnt be u-joint? Thanx in advance

Could be the lack of grease on rear hub pins, the drive shaft splines, possible worn wheel bearing and or swing arm bearings...lots of options to place the blame on..

If you tear it down to check one you may as well check / grease them all..
