ken Posted December 28, 2009 Share #1 Posted December 28, 2009 I used the search option and can't seen to find a poll on how many have the "whine" vs how many do not. I found a poll ref: to how many have fixed the problem, but no one that would give an average on how many bike have the problem. If anyone knows of a poll could you post a link.

starrider60 Posted December 29, 2009 Share #5 Posted December 29, 2009 NO WHINE AND NO CHEESE. 31,000 MILES AND I LOVE THE WAY IT RUNS & SOUNDS. IF YOU WANT REAL MOTORCYCLE NOISE, RIDE AN AIR COOLED BIKE WITH STOCK MUFFLERS. SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE GRINDING HAMBURGER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiCarl Posted December 29, 2009 Share #9 Posted December 29, 2009 I believe that all Ventures (MKI, MKII, 2nd Gen) and most Yamahas fall into one of the following categories: 1 - Rider can hear gear whine. 2 - Rider cannot hear gear whine because of deafness, loud pipes, MP3 player, passenger whine etc.... Straight cut (spur) gears are always noisy. That's why helical gears were invented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share #13 Posted December 29, 2009 I had an 05 that I put 8,000 miles on the 1st year with no whine or chirp. Then I brought an HD and sold the RSV. Now I'm "whine" wishing I had kept the RSV. I will most likly get a used RSV next, so I was wondering what the chances are of finding one with out the whine.

Nemo Posted December 29, 2009 Share #14 Posted December 29, 2009 I realize that I'm a little hard of hearing, but I've never heard any whine coming from this bike. The only noise that I hear that is different for me, is a clicking noise from the engine which reminds me of tappets clicking on my old Chevrolet, years ago. And I don't have loud pipes either. Must be the lucky one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
