P500 Mystery scream/whine

[Shadesmn]

Has anyone noticed a load scream that comes and goes while riding? Sounds like something stuck in a caliper or something like that, but doesn't change pitch with engine and wheel speed changes. It slows differently when it does, but never seems to match speed to pitch if that makes sense. It sounds rotational but comes and goes randomly but only seems present at cruising speeds not slow crawling. Hard to pinpoint with a helmet on or without a rider to try and listen while moving. Ideas?

May need to put up on jackstands then mild pressure wash and see if sound is there. You won't have weight on it but you'll be able to see and hear everything especially with tires removed.

Mine did that for a while, especially after going through water, I never did locate it. It sounded like a caliper dragging or a loose brake pad. It quit on it's own.

Mine does, but only on a big downhill. Was easy to find the problem for me though, because it was coming from the passenger. 😁
