gl1800 2001 high noise from the engine

[pinjas]

Hello to everyone. I have a 2001 gl1800 with 66000mile on. It starts to do some high noise and i can`t find from where. I change the clutch ( discs + disc holder), engine oil, the 2 bearings on the alternatroe but tehe high noise is still there. i watch a ton ob you tube clips but no one seem to have this noise, everzone sai that is the alternator but even without the alternator on just for a 3 seconds the noise is still there.

Who can help me?

In your video, I hear a high pitched noise during its entire run time. It speeds up and "lightens" a little with the snapping of the throttle. If that's the noise you are refering to, it is normal. For clarity, I would describe it as a whine.

However, if your noise is more of a squeel or whistle, click on the link below. To test, and when on a center stand, when the squeel is there, and with the right engine cover off, reaching with a rubber hose to your ear, touch the other end on the water pump.

The noise it is not similar and i thing is coming from the inside of the engine. It could be an idea to check the pump. On this engine the previous owner chenge the 5 gear so i do not know how he closes the engine
