Wow-wow noise from flywheel when slowing and stopping

I'm sure my D needs some lubrication somewhere(?) I oiled the chain already.

Where is a good place to start?

Though I've never heard it called a wow-wow, we have had a clutch squeak that happens when the flywheel is running down after a workout. It's harmless and may go away after a period of time. You could remove the flywheel and lubricate the clutch to address the noise, though it might come back. C2JonW
