High frequency squeal

Post by Repsol » Mon May 12, 2014 7:22 am

So I'm riding my Dream around and begin to hear a very high frequency squeal which increases with the rpm. I'm thinking the worst; bad bearings, engine failure etc etc. So I really listened to the bike as I was riding and I discovered that the noise was coming from the battery cover. I touch it and it goes away. I took the cover off and there are two tabs with holes in them on the upper corners. I ordered some grommets to put in there to maybe dampen the vibration. Is there suppose to be some sort of grommet there in the first place?
