howling noise

Elteeron
81 Honda CB750C: It has developed a howling type noise below, after having been run for a while. It occurs when slowing down. An addition now is a screeching noise that accompanies the howling. Not a brake noise, and the alternator is fine. The bike has 38K. I am the original owner. is there a bearing I am missing? I am replacing the front chain sprocket, although I don't really think it is worn that much. The chain is about 4 years old, and in reasonable shape.   Thoughts?

Wheel bearings? You know, you should replace the chain and sprockets at the same time. A worn chain, or sprocket will quickly wear out a new chain or sprocket.

thanks for your reply. The noise appears to be coming from just below my seat. Doesn't appear to be wheel bearings, but I will double check.

Put the bike on the center stand and spin the wheels. You might hear a grinding noise.

It's down low, below where I sit, but low on the bike.

Does the speed of the howl change with road speed or engine speed?

Recently put on different tires? Different tires can have different sounds.

Change your air filter recently? I know there can be airbox noise on some bikes and you can have it for years and never notice it. Then 1 day you sit there and hear a new noise our of nowhere.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!
