This is hard to explain but my Viking makes an odd noise mostly at low speed or going downhill from the drivetrain. It's not like metal on metal or grinding. I've had it to the dealer and was told its normal. Anyone else have a strange noise??
One way bearing will stall and kill your bike when you slow down. The noise I had in mine was a right rear wheel bearing. After checking all the bearings the front left was out also.
Jack it up on some jack stands and start turning the wheels and listen for anything abnormal. You can also chock the front wheels with it jacked up and fire it up with a buddy in the cockpit to mash the gas while you listen and pin point where it might be coming from.
Mine is doing the same thing, and I have been too lazy to take it in yet. It's mostly going slow (7-10mph), downhill and it sounds like where the driveshaft is.
My Vi also is making same noise. I removed rear seats and plastic and drove it the noise is coming from drive line. It is vibrating in the Bering collar that supports drive line. Not sure if there is a fix? Perhaps a new one might be a tighter fit. It is annoying as **** though!!!
Ok so my noise was coming from the short driveshaft between the engine and rear-end. There is a plastic bushing in there that was busted and seal was leaking a bit. No more annoying noise.
I found it lol. It's hard to hear on there but the end of your video sounded like the same clank as mine when u took off. But before it sounded like u-joint noise
Yay! Glad to hear you got it fixed, Ill keep that in mind. Mine is squeking cause it already needs brake pads IDK why i havent used it but 15 hours, but dealer says something may have got in it and is my responsibility.
Anyone else having brake pads fail less than 20 hours into use?

I bought different pads those^^^^ like $60 or something. No issues in months
