"Whistling ST-Limited"
Around 50mph and up, my Can-Am starts a loud whistling sound.
Any suggestions.

My suggestion is try to figure out the general area where it's coming from then we can maybe have an idea. Kinda tough to diagnose from here without any other info.
Did you install anything new, or adjust the position of something that was already there?
Are you also certain it's not helmet noise?

Depends....
Whistling like wind or like metalic or rubbing ..? If it is a helmet sound you can clear it up with a simple head movement. Most wind noise you can find by taping up sections suspected if not a wind sound little tougher...

What year is your Spyder? Do you have a SmoothSpyder riding on the outside of a ribbed belt? If so, that is most likely what you hear.

Mine makes the whistling sound as well. It's starting to bug me. It does sound like it's coming from somewhere up front. Did you ever find a way to make it stop?

My RT !imited has always whistled. If you look at the front Sprocket, there are round holes all around it. As it turns, the holes might cut the wind sounding like a Wind Instrument. The faster you go, the higher RPMs the Sprocket turns, with a louder whistle. That’s my guess. I installed the Belt Dampener as soon as I bought my Spyder, and at first, I thought it was the roller bearings on the Dampener whistling. So I wired it off the belt, but it still whistled, so it wasn’t the Roller.

cell phone
if you can and with some sort of cell phone attachment, so you do not drop it { if your cell has this option } turn the video on , and carry a rider ! have the rider move the phone around the lower section of the rear , near the left and right of the tire, and if safely for you to do it , move it around your seating position { ONLY IF YOU CAN DO IT SAFELY } no need to hurt your self just over something "whistling Dixie " ( sorry those other folks made me do it ) ... but you might be able to pin point the noise this way ... ( might be exhaust leak also , header gasket ) good luck on the search ...

Mine whistles also
I have a 17 RT that as I go up the gears I hear a whistling that is speed dependant, it does sound like a turbo spooling up. Have there been any known issues with bad gaskets or hoses?
