Horrible Screeching Noise!

[Nofi]

2009 1125Cr w/11K miles. Bike (not engine) makes screeching noises when in motion about 50% of the time (comes and goes). Sounds like a dry worn out wheel bearing. Can get really loud. My guess is the drive belt tensioner wheel bearing. Has anyone one else had this problem? This bike is turning into a "Hanger Queen".

Do you have stands so you can spin things and listen? Otherwise, maybe a short walk will be enough to pinpoint the source.

Need to find that noise before you find yourself walking or somthing worse.

Are you listening to Sugarland or maybe cheep brake pads both jenifer nettles voice and cheap pad make awful noises!

Big Odds says it's your rear brake pull the caliper clean the crap out of it and see if it goes away. I have seen it happen enough to be confident about it.
