Noise from rear

Hi folks - seen this on here before, but want to double check.
I do alot of start / stop riding in traffic, and when warmed up
(2 miles) I'm getting this screech/whine from back wheel area
when accelerating from standstill. After 5-10m it's goes. On
longer journeys (few start/ stops), no noise at all.

Presume (as in previous threads) it's belt noise, but not exactly
sure how to remedy? Any previous experiences (particularly those
that were resolved!) most appreciated. Cheers.

In my experience the quickest way to eliminate the noise from behind me is to tell the passenger to stop screaming. :lol!:

Just joking around. Sorry I can't help with your question. Welcome to the board.

Welcome to the Forum, Squasher. It seems you have a case of the common clutch squeal. Although it's embarrassing to have a noise come from your bike and other folks at a stop light look over at you , there's usually no mechanical harm. Look at this thread for how to mitigate it: https://www.silverwing600.com/t884-advice-on-squeal?highlight=squeal
