i have a whin noise when holding in clutch and down shifting when coming to a stop it sounds like fireworks being lite off. also when the bike is just idling you can here it whin from around the cam area it gets louder when you rev the motor. anyone have this issue this is my 2nd m8 107 bike and my first one didnt make this noise.

 

How is a whin "whine" like a bunch of firecrackers going off? Since its your 2nd new M8 and the first one did not exhibit the whine,whats your Dealer have to say about it? Take it in and let us know.

 

The whine from the clutch when downshifting is normal. I’ve had a sportster, 2 twin cams and now my M8 and they all did it. The noise you’re hearing from the cam area can’t help you with

 

gtx , yes it sounds like firecrackers going off or like satern missiles the fire work,its load my wife can it on her bike when riding behind me threw the sena’s, the bikes going in for 1k mile service within a few weeks ill post what they say.a sales man listened to it saterday and he said its defiantly nothing he has herd yet and i should get it in asap.

 

Wow.... a salesman with good advice... go figure...

I agree with him....! Get it into the dealer's service dept.

 

Well, if it's defiantly nothing he has herd yet, I don't know if I would weight a fue weeks to take it in. Maybe better sooner than laiter...

 

I am puzzled also. A whine don't sound like firecrackers! I would take it in as soon as possible

 

update on my engine whine,

just got off The phone with the dealer they said the whine noise when downshifting was from the primary the primary chain was too tight they took out the auto adjuster and put it back in and let it retention itself and now it’s fine ,as far as the whine from the right side of the motor goes they are replacing the cam shaft, oil pump with a new gen 3 oil pump and well as the cam bearing and oil pump bearings all i can day is good thing for warranties

 

Sheesh! this thread was hard to read. Literally lol

Glad they got it fixed though.

 

OP: What bike do you have? Do you know the build date (on the right front frame down tube)?
