    Default High Pitched Clicking/Squealing Noise While Driving

    I just switch to an open face helmet and while riding today, I began hearing this very high pitched clicking/squealing noise while driving, noise completely stops when the ryker comes to a stop, so it is not making the noise while idling, when I first heard the sound it reminded me of when kids used to tape a playing card to their bikes and it would smack against the spokes, kind of sounded like that, i have done some searches on this forum and others, some say they get a noise from the air intake box, but I do not think it is that as that seems it would make the noise when idling or at stop, some folks say they get this noise due to a brake issue, and I do agree the sounds seems like it coming from both wheels, so has anyone on this forum experienced this, any suggestions before I go back to the dealer?

    If coming from front, I'd first check the turn signal wiring to the fenders. Wires are clipped to a plastic tab and can come loose easily.
    When mine (2020) came loose twice, I drilled the tab and used a small cable tie to secure.

    i think it is the front brake calipers, they have this play in them, but the rear caliper is solid as a rock

    I'll second this. The dealer didn't seat my right fender turn signal harness during prep. I heard a terrible squeal out of nowhere on one of my early rides. I pulled off the fender and found the harness worn all the way through the wrap, through the wire insulation, and down to the bare copper. The dealer replaced the entire harness under warranty.

    I spoke with the dealer, recall has been corrected and as to the clicking, it was a loose fender, I don't get it back until tomorrow, so I guess we will see
