Hi my name is Richard born and bred Kiwi. This is my baby I mean ours the wife as well.
I would like a bit of feedback, I have had this bike for a few months and it has a damn annoying squeek that seems constant with the bike speed and stops when you just roll to a stop. Has anyone had a problem like this with their Thunderbird or any thoughts

 

Just a footnote: the squeek seems to be coming from the drive belt area if the bike.

 

Welcome aboard Richard, Over tight belt causing a squeak is a common problem.

 

Yeah wondered that, thanks

 

Hi mate and welcome
Tension/alignment of the drive belt is very likely the culprit

 

Hi Dilligaf

Thanks for that, seems to be the consensus.

 

Awesome thanks Ron

 

Kia Ora Richard, and welcome in as above I think mate, mine has an annoying squeak from the front brake (under braking only) which I need to investigate though

 

Good morning and welcome in. Enjoy your new ride and always be safe! I see the bros have already helped you out with your quest. Most of the people here are quite knowledgeable and very willing to offer advice!

 

Welcome to the Asylum you should fit right in.
Great looking bike

Hi Helmut

Thanks for the welcome, and the tip.

 

Hello Richard and welcome to the forum

 

Welcome to the forum Richard, good luck with fixing the drive belt noise. Cool to hear the Mrs loves the bike too

 

Welcome Richard

 

Hi and welcome.... Had a similar problem with my T'bird LT. Dealer suggested spraying the belt with some polish (can't remember which one though). It definitely did the trick.
