  • Engine Squeal/Whistle

    Hello folks. I have a quick question. Around 55-65 mph or 4-5k rpms in 5th gear, I can hear my engine making almost a squealing/whistling noise. Its constant and high pitched. Any input would be appreciated. Don't be afraid to ask questions, I'll supply any answers I can. I have a 1981 XS 1100 std

    Could be the middle drive unit. Check/change the oil.

      Could be the speedo/speedo cable.
