I don't ride her in the rain. it takes to long to detail her. its like a show bike. with ALOT of chrome and lizard lights all over her. I will get out the photos soon. and, I am to old and smart to ride in the rain. that's why I have a 2011 dodge charger..lol any one know where I can hire a rain dance stopper??

I have rode my bike like 6 times this month:rotf: a few days ago I went for a ride !!! it was great !! for like 15 minutes and guess what happened!! it RAINED all over the place. my 1,300 treaded water like a friggen boat !! so back in my shop for a wash and wax and full detail, AGAIN. is this funny yet?? just went out for a smoke.. guess what its doing out side? you got it !!! oh wait I got it !!

glad to hear your ok. sounds like a break check crash test.. its just great news your in one piece..

done.. voted for him..

ok thanks.. how do you get to a moderator to do that?

I want to change the name when I post. how do you do that? instead of Chris Fulgenzi I want a new name instead..

like the hotel California, you can check out anytime you want, but you can NEVER leave... yes I like this group. great guys and I don't mind supporting good people. now I have to figure out how to change my user name to something a little more fun and get a photo of my bike on here so you can all see her..

well I am a member now. I made the payment and now your stuck with me !!! lol the fact many were trying to help me out made up my mind...thanks guys..

my kill switch had a short in it and did that. also I agree with the kick stand switch. when you hit a bump, it makes the kick stand drop a little and she quits. PB BLASTER !!!! the food of the gods !!!! lol it fixes everything...

no it was more pronounced going down hill or on a flat with no pressure on the drive train. now, I took advise of a early post. and pulled the clutch in doing 70 mph and the noise STOPED. I can hear the tire sounding off it has a flump flump sound. if that's a good term..lol going up hill the drive train sound gets a lot quieter also. if the sound goes away I would think its not a drive shaft or bearing or a chunk. or a u joint. to me, I would think its the clutch or a gear whine. or both. I decided to sleep on this and go back at it tomorrow. and the oil thing will be the issue tomorrow along with a Dunlop tire. you know, to me, with no pressure on the drive train and its sounding off, that tells me it has a crappy gear design and the gears don't fit one another very well. and, I know Harleys have ALOT of drive train noise also because they use huge gears.

well this morning, I had a buddy get in my charger and follow me to dothen al. 45 miles away. it made the noise but it NEVER got as loud as it did the other night. I ran it up to 85 or 90 a few times and ran it at 70 mph most of the way. scary when your not sure what tricks it has up its sleeve for the day ..lol on the way, I had to get gas where I saw the back tire looked strange. I have a metzeler on the front and rear. it was great in the center, but the sides were chafed really bad. I keep them at 40 psi and check them every week or so. when at dothen power sports, he states they are very busy and he does not have time to ride the bike. and if I want. I can leave it. and he will call me next week to let me know what he finds. bull cookies. this is a full out investigation. lol so he wants 370.00 for a tire. nope. I found one at the little bike shop down the road for 250.00 but it was late. so I have to go back to get it done. ok now, the oil we have been running is amsoil 10w40. since it was new. when I bought the bike it had this noise and they said it was normal but NEVER rode the bike to hear it. so how in the hell does he know ANYTHING? don't you love it when people think you are STUPID? now, I am looking at oils. if I run 20w50 in this bike, I have went from synthetic to regular oil. and I believe that can hurt my seals in the motor because its been on synthetic since it was new. now it has 21,000 miles I got it when it had 15,000 miles. if I go to 2050 synthetic oil it will be thicker but it will get hot faster. and it may quiet it down like putting a band aid on the problem. so, is this noise a gremlin? you know, one you chase for weeks on end? to me, start with a new tire and get rid of the out of round flint stones tire off it first. I am going with a Dunlop series 3 touring tire. and see what she does. then go from there. and I need to find a better dealership I guess. I hate to, that is the place that had dealt with this bike since she was born. but if they wont ride it, how do they know what is going on?? my god !!! a person could go crazy thinking about all this mess !!! lol welcome to my nightmare... good old Alice Cooper..

after reading the posts from all of you, I may see a few things. first I am using amsoil synthetic 10w40 oil. that has been used in the bike since new. I bought the bike with 15.000 miles in Dothan Alabama. it now has almost 21.000 miles. when I bought it I told Dothen power sports I could hear a whine in the drive train. last night was the worst I have ever heard the noise. it made my hair stand up. I was really worried. I was on the expressway with it running 70 and 75 mph. its hard to hear ANYTHING else but my bub exhaust with the baffles out. but that noise last night drowned out the exhaust. I guess I can switch oils and try that to 20w40 yamalube. I have a FULL extended Yamaha plan on the bike from tire to tire. I have had her for about 4 or 5 mos now. I spent around 5 grand on chrome and lights for her. she has a lizard light show. loaded with all kinds of crazy chrome. fork extenders, caliper covers, sound of chrome speakers, road king style front lights, light bezels all the way around, k&n filters on the carbs,and the carbs have been gone through with bigger jets. . its LOADED. I love the bike, its crazy fast and fun to ride. BUT, I have to get this problem under control. its not a very good sound.. not for the 15 grand I spent on a 2007 bike..

I don't understand the question. up to what? I just joined the group at 1:30 am this morning for the answers to the problem on my bike. I guess its a running joke.. lol that makes me worry a little !!! lol:shock3:

hello all. I have a 2007 royal star midnight tour deluxe. with 21,000 miles. I have ALOT of drive train noise from her. it is a loud whining sound. gets real bad around 70 or 75 mph. it gets more quiet going up hill, and on the way down hill it sounds off bad. or on a flat run. I have a bub exhaust with out baffles and its LOUD. and this noise is louder than my pipes. I asked dothen power sports in Alabama about it. that's where I got the bike. they say its (normal). well I have to say, if that's a fact, I have to get rid of my bike. it gives me a head ache. and the noise makes me worry that she is going to lock up on me or something. I think its from the crank case, but its hard to tell. any one know anything about this ????
