| I own a 2004 Vulcan 2000. After riding for 30 minutes or so I get high pitched chirping sound from the rear of the bike, most noticeable under partial throttle. I would like to hear from other owners if they have similar experience and what the fix was, so I can talk to my dealer about repair. Otherwise, I absolutely love this monster bike.

| I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing here but I'm getting a similar noise, but on my vn2000 the high pitched whistling/chirping noise, sounds like its coming from the engine area and at speeds of between 110 - 125 kph only, with the same throttle positioning. I have my dealer looking at it right now (2nd time) will keep you updated if thay fix it. FYI I spoke to another VN2000 owner this weekend and he said he has the same thing on his bike.

| I believe it is due to contact with the flange. I have it too at 50-55 mph.

| i road about sixty miles and i think after mine got good and hot that the front wheel
bearings are going out. it even seemed to change the sound when i served left and right. 2004 with 2300 miles still under warranty. try to ride a good distance and see if it's the same.
going to ride to sturgis and hope the wheel doesn't fall off.

| after further review i'm convinced the rear
wheel bearing is going out. it sounds like
it's engine but a passenger can detect it coming from the back. going in for warranty work monday. hope they find it.

| had the pulley fixed after factory recall. it helped nothing. must need rear wheel bearings replaced. 2300 miles. sounds horrible. embarassing. need to wear a paper bag on my head to ride it. should just get a vtx. summer will be gone soon. the stupid bike lives in the shop more than at my house.
