1000ds Whine

  1. Is it normal for the bike (1000SS DS)to make a whining noise when slowing down through the gears?
    Mine is very vocal when doing this but it does sound quite nice, it's not a bad noise it just concerns me something might be about to go. It's a bit like an electric RC car if that makes sense.

  2. Check wheel bearings and belt pulley bearings, though.......
     
  3. It's only on the overrun/slowing down and is coming from the transmission. If I pull the clutch in it goes. I should have mentioned that....it's transmission whine.
     
  4. Is it a good year?


    (the old ones are the best)


    See what I did there?
     
  5. No time for sediment.

  6. I thought that was the noise all IE owners made because they don't have a carby!! Open clutch cover should sort that, won't hear it over the rattle.
