As soon as I got out on the track yesterday and let off the gas for the first time, I noticed a pretty loud whine noise coming from the bike.
Only happens on decel when moving pretty quick, happens in all gears, most noticeable in 3rd, 4th, 5th.
When I pull in the clutch it pretty much goes away, at least quiet enough to not hear over the pipe.
When the tranny is cold the noise is much worse, once it gets hot from riding it quiets down some.
I always let the engine warm up before riding of course.
Tranny and engine oil was just put in it and at perfect levels (even double checked). And I change both every other ride.
The last time I rode the bike, at the end of the day I landed a large jump all retarded, my thumb slipped off the throttle or something when I landed, bottomed out and heard a fairly loud clank from the engine/chain area of the bike.
I pulled off the track to make sure my old *** chain didn't crack or something, everything looked fine, but after that we stopped riding for the day so I have no idea if that is what caused the whine.
Before this ride the bike was up on the grab bar over night, but it sat level for awhile before starting. Doubt that matters though.
Engine only has 11 hours on since I did a FULL rebuild on it.
Replaced every single bottom end ball bearing and seal with Honda OEM, cam chain. (Left the roller bearings)
New HR +3 balanced & welded by crank works, new Hinson outer basket.
My clutch hub a tinny bit of wear on it.
