I'm a newbie with a 2012 RT classic. My question is making left turns under power I get a squeaking and sort of chirping noise. Sounds like in the belt area. Bike has 6500 miles on it. Any help, Thanks

I was getting quite a bit of squeaking as well when I was in Maine last week. Turned out it was all of the dust that had been accumulating on brake pads. Washed at home and squeaking has gone away. I have read in previous posts about folks having to use brake parts cleaner to clean some of the grime off of brakes to eliminate noises.

I'm going to have to take a closer look at mine. I thought I was hearing a slight squeak from the front wheels from time to time.

there are some belts that squeaked and brp recommended you put a pea size drop of grease on the center of the rear sprocket between one tooth. After ryding a bit the belt will spread it all around and eliminate the noise. If it continues it is coming from somewhere else...:thumbup:

My 2012 needed the belt grease treatment at least twice a month.
