I haven't ridden my bike all that much since I bought it, but after I took a little spin on it today around my property I noticed some squeaking coming from what sounded like the right rear wheel, possibly the c/v joint. I don't think it's anything major, just haven't had time to investigate. Just wondered if any of you guys had experienced anything similar, to save me some trouble. I don't have very many miles on it and I haven't been too hard on it, so it can't be anything major like bearing failure. Anyway, any similar experiences would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

Three things it could be; CV joints (maybe but....), wheel bearing or a dragging brake.

 

Well, I've had my bike for a while now and this problem still persists. I've taken all the wheels off and cleaned all the dirt out of the brakes. I've tried several times, but can't figure out where it's coming from. Anyone else had this problem?

 

I've had this issue, but it's been due to dirt in the breaks. Riding through water and/or tapping the breaks as I go cleared up the squeeking.

 

I have had the same problem on my 06 500, and the only remedy that I have found is temporary. I removed the rear brake pads and with a light sand paper scuffed off the raised areas on the pads. If you do this make sure that you do another brake burn in like you should when the brakes are new. IMO
