I'm coming to the conclusion that I have to get some new pipes so I can get my mind off all the sewing machine, chain and gear sounds coming from my bike.. but before I do so, I just want to be sure this is normal..

Especially when in 4th gear, I hear a whining sould that I can't figure out if it's the primary chain, which I adjusted when I did my 5K service, or maybe the straight cut gears of the transmission..

I used mobile 1 gear oil in my tranny, btw.

Is this a common noise or do I need to revisit my primary chaing adjustment and maybe loosen it up a little..

Thanks.

 

A whine from the primary chain is usually an indication that the chain is adjusted to tight. I would suggest you double check the adjustment making sure that you do so at the tightest point on the chain as you rotate the rear wheel.

 

My 2000 1200 C makes some whining noise at low speeds, the noise dont seem that bad on my bike. I dont know if yours is worse then my bike with out a side by side test. I think it just comes down to what is normal.
Maybe your chain is to tight.
Do you know some one with a bike you could compare it too?.
I hope some one can help you more thin I did...
