I've got a '96 fxsts - stock jugs and crank with a Andrews Industries EV27 cam and a S&S "E" carb w/ 18k on the odo. Got back from a ride this evening and noticed a whine while the bike is idling. I can't hear it at speed because I'm old and deaf AND the bike has straight pipes...The whine increases with the rpms. It's hard to tell if it's coming from the crankshaft end of the primary or the starter.
Today was the first day this season that it got above 80 degrees. The bike was good and warm. I'm gonna start it up tomorrow AM while it's cool and see if it still whines. Anybody got any good ideas as to where to start chasing this noise?
thnx
