Just small example why this forum is great.
The other day I was out riding and all of a sudden at idle & low RPM's my bike started squeaking/chirping really bad, WTF. So I took it home and could not pin point where it as coming from. It sounded like it was coming from the engine, like maybe engine mounts. So before I drove myself nuts trying to figure it out I looked it up on the forum, and from what I read most of the time it's the Rubber muffler mount. Sure enough mine had shifted forward, in some cases it's a dry mount that needs a squirt of lube. Saved me the time trying to figure it out, it didn't sound like it was coming from the rear. I read some posts on guys who basically tore the whole bike apart trying to find the source.
So thanks to those who share ideas/ tips to save others from the time and hassle they went trough.
