Bet the fairing got in the way of things, couldn't find the right trailer...so they took the gamble. Crazy
It was pretty obvious that the guy wasn't used to pulling a trailer, either. Yes, you need to go a little wide to avoid curbs, but his turns took up about three lanes.

Probably because he suspected a tight turn could knock it over.

That's okay, you must be more in the city. Hoppers stick to the belts and pulleys out here.

Regardless, must be board...I don't hear anything wrong.

No, there's definitely a squeak/chirp. I'll make a longer clip (thought it would be more obvious than that).

I get a funny belt-like squeak on the 1-2 upshift at full throttle, too - hoping they're related.

Huh, strange. Got me. Not sure what that could be, With the 98 I swapped all that stuff every belt change. But yea, who knows what the PO did before yuh. IME (owning since new) the belt will usually show signs of wear before anything on up front except for possible the WP later on.

Just seen the new one.

Yea, I hear what you're talking about.. Quite a few have that sound. Not sure if it's a concern, it wouldn't me anyway.

It's done it since I bought it. It irritates me every time I hear it and I finally got irritated enough to make a video. I always assume funny noises need to be eliminated before they become worse, but this hasn't gotten any worse. If I can quiet it, I'd like to, but it's certainly no emergency.
