What is your bike?buddhacide wrote:Well, i went out today to take a spin and guess what. No more squeaking. SO i rode around for about an hour. When I came back, as i was putting my bike into my backyard I noticed it was back. I have a feeling its nothing too problematic.
Screeching coming from rear wheel.

You better get those splines checked. On some V-Stars the factory was not putting enough grease on the splines and it has been known to cause final drive failure.
My bike is a 650 V-Star Classic and it was squeaking intermittently for awhile, hearing it only at low speeds. But it got worse and I could hear it squeaking at city speed as well and more frequently.
It hasn't squeaked from the rear since.
If only I could do something about the front brake sqeaking........

It explains about the splines.
