Default Sounds like a Duck backing up in the morning

Exactly what the title says. There is an intermittnet "honk" like a duck in the morning when I go in reverse. The sound doesn't sound liike it is coming from the the brakes or wheels but more like underneath the seat. Does anyone else's sound like this?

The dealer says to leave it overnight but it's really not that easy.

Any suggestions?

How many miles are on your spyder? The reason I ask is if it is new the brakes may not be seated in yet and could be dragging just a bit. If you are not running the engine and take the parking brake off does your spyder roll freely? You can do this without the beep if you shut things down for a while and release the parking brake before you start the engine.

Can't say I ever heard a duck noise coming from mine. One thing you could try is put it in reverse and as you are backing up apply a little brake and see if it changes.

Also......look for feathers?

Sorry...................... couldn't resist

"Look for feathers..."
You beat to this one... THIS time!

Since I put the Gen 3 pads on the rear of mine I'll catch a little bit of "moaning" when I'm backing up the Spyder. Only mine ain't quite quacking!
