Howling noise?
I have had a howling noise coming from the front of the bike. It has done it since I got the bike, no change from jetting, repacking, or gas mix. It only seems to do it during acceleration from about half to about full throttle? Any body else have this happen? I have boysen reeds fmf woods pipe turbin core 2 and the air box lid cut open. It will not do it sitting still and it has about 145 to 150psi compression. Any thoughts?

I'll bite, what about the clutch? the noise seems to be coming from the pipe. I have had the pipe off and cleaned it, it wasn't that bad but it was off. I also looked into the cylinder and it looked good on the back side and the piston looked good on the front side. I have done several compression test and they all were around 145 to 150 over the summer. I'm not ruling any thing out but the clutch is working good, good feel and engages good with no slippage.

More likely a slipping clutch howling than it coming from your pipe, unless of course that is where the hamsters are located

If it does it all the time it's probably a bearing
Usually, on my bike it will only howl while accelerating when the motor is fairly cold
But if you had an oil that's energy conserving it might do that
