I just replaced my HES and installed a new alternator belt (thanks for the help on that GS Addict). The bike (2000 R1100RS) had a whispy noise upon startup before replacing the two parts, and still has the whispy sound. It lasts about 3 seconds. On an earlier post, someone mentioned it may be an old belt, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Does anyone have any thoughts on what the issue might be. Would a starter make this kind of noise?
Second issue I have is that I have replaced my brake lines with Spiegler's and replaced the brake fluid. After doing this about a year ago, the front brakes had a very slight drag (could give the front wheel a whirl and it would turn about 3/4 turn). The problem still remains a year later (just replaced brake fluid). Do I need to look in to this further? Just don't want the brakes to decide to close while I'm cruising down the highway.
Thanks to everyone on this forum who help those of us out who are still on a steep learning curve when it comes to wrenching on our bikes. It really is appreciated.
