Driving today I noticed a fast whop, whop, whop, whop sound....kinda like getting a flat tire...but it’s not...
Does the belt make that kind of noise if it has too much slack? Or not enough?
Or is it something else?
Weird rear end noise

See your dealer or we need video with sound

I found the problem...
The rear fender bracket suffered a cata......horrible failure...
The noise was the fender rubbing on the tire.

That would do it. Pretty difficult to diagnose something like that on a forum though. If I had a noise that sounded like the rear tire was rubbing on something, I'd have been looking closely in that area to see if it was. This shouldn't have been that hard to find.

It's gotta be frustrating when 2 or 3 things go wrong on every single ride. I'm just glad mine is solid! -

Ditto that here. Recalls have been done. Well over 25k on mine, it just works like it should every time I get in it. Maybe it's the 2016.5 Fast Red ones....

I think it has something to do with maintaining and cleaning our vehicles also. I clean something on mine ever time out and if I heard a noise from the rear I would keep an eye out while wiping her down and like you I have a solid 2016.5 also in the fastest red color, but not near 25k yet. Of course I didn't get mine but a couple months back either. We are headed to Daytona tomorrow for Biketoberfest so that will be a few more miles added.RNJ12

Glad you got it diagnosed - hopefully the fix will be easy and you'll be on the road soon

Top notch sleuthing & diagnostic skills...

I also have the '16.5 fast red. You know, we should think about starting up an online group to share info and ideas, and offer support!

Who designed that so we know not to buy?
