Clicking noise in the rear end of my 2005 Rocket 3

I have had my Rocket 3 for a little over a year now. I always noticed a very slight "clicking" noise in ther rear end but never gave it too much thought. A couple of weeks ago, I put a new rear tire on and put 150+ miles on it. I then noticed a very prominant clicking noise. The frequency of the noise is directly related to the speed of the bike. Any ideas?

It sounds like a bearing but you need to investigate a little further. Put the bike up on its center stand, rear wheel off ground. Then spin the wheel by hand and find that sound. IF you hear the sound really try to pinpoint its location. Then of course you need to get the repair book/ maintance book and go through the trouble shooting list. Good luck

Rear end noise, shaking

Check the rear driveshaft u-joints. Most likely the rear u-joint at the differential is seized/seizing. May here a rotational squeaking at low speeds. If you want to check it yourself. Remove the rear driveshaft and move the u-joint in each direction and check for tightness. Do so with both ends. Let me know how it works out for ya!

Got in to start my 2005 Aval just getting a clicking noise. I cleaned the battery cables. Pos had a little corosion. Still got clicking noise. I noticed battery was 3 yrs old. I replaced battery and still...

Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome. Check your ignition switch fuse first. It may have blown. Since the battery is new, it is probably your starter or starter solenoid. Locate your starter and hit it with a rubber hammer a few times. It may be enough to get it to fire and know for sure that is the cause. Your hot side battery wire has one set that leads to your starter. You can find it this way.

Grand Am clicking noise

I really doubt this can't be fixed, the car is 8 years old and most likely it may have some worn components in the front end like the Constant Velocity joints, also have the btrake pad anti rattle springs replaced or checked for condition, the brakes can make this noise if the springs loose there tension.

Engine clicking on Mercedes C230 Kompresor 2005

I had the same problem...took it in for service and it turns out my water pump was faulty. In fact it had blown. The clicking was the valve running metal to metal.

2005 GMC Canyon 4x4 clicking noise in rear end when in drive. Starts at about 20mph. At first, noticed a squeeking noise when in reverse. that went away.

Stones in tire treads? Pull the rear wheels for a look-see. Inspect brakes and all hardware. Have then lubed. Make sure linings or pads are not glazed to eliminate squeaking noise.Make sure parking brake works properly and smoothly. It may beone or more of those things. Good luck there, pardner.

Noise while turning

no clicking what so ever i asked a friend of mine who used to be a mechanic and he said that it could possibly be the dust sheild on the brake caliper rubbing, there is no clicking sound. It makes a sound like the rotor is bumping into something when you turn. if i turn only a little there is little or no noise and it gets worse/louder the more u turn in that direction.
