AFTER WARMING UP (E.G. 15-20 MILE RIDE), A SHRIEKING/HOWLING NOISE COMES FROM AREA OF RIGHT REAR. BRAKE ROTOR IS NOT OVERLY HOT, NOR IS THE HUB, WHICH WOULD POSS INDICATE HANGING CALIPER OR SEIZING BEARING. NOISE CONTINUES WITH CLUTCH ENGAGED AND ENGINE AT IDLE. IT CAN BE HEARD OVER EXHAUST WHILE ON THROTTLE. LESS THAN 3000 MILES, BOUGHT BRAND NEW, BUT AFRAID TO RIDE DUE TO NOISE. I HAVE OVER 45 YRS EXPERIENCE IN RIDING, RACING, ETC.
