Whine in 2nd and 3rd

[hawkeye]

Hi guys,
I have a 2006 with 5200kms - I notice the bike whines a bit in 2nd and 3rd. Is this nornal? The bike shifts cleanly and no other problems. It's not too bad, sounds kinda like some sportbikes out there. I bought the bike used so I'm not sure if this is a problem. Thanks!

I should say that it's more when it's under light load or deceleration. When maintaining speed it's absent.

As long as you perform the routine maintenance I would just ride it. I took my 05' with 30K on it out the other night with a half helmet on for the first time(I normally run full face). Holy crap, I could drive myself insane trying to debug all the noises. As they say, just put some loud pipes on and the noises go away.:biglaugh:

Yeah that's kinda what I was thinking. The tranny operates smoothly so I'll forget about it. It didn't seem as noticable when I was out today. Thanks!
