Engine Whine
« on: »
Hi All

I hope I am worrying about nothing here.
Had the bike a few weeks now and starting to hear things and over think, on acceleration and deceleration the bike whines. Its not a horrible sound but is it normal?
It sounds a bit like when a car is in reverse but nowhere near as high pitched
I feel like it has been there all the time but just over thinking it now, no performance issues and gear change is fine (smoother that my ole GSX1400) but I just want to get some other experiences cheers

Other than nearing the speed of sound, is the drive chain lubricated?
A dry chain has caused vibration and noise on other bikes I've had. On the MT I have installed a Scottoiler, nice stuff.

I noticed similar sounds from new. I was assured it was a feature of the beast. Lots of large straight cut gears. Agree it is annoying but in my case it reduced as the engine etc ran in. What is your mileage?
