Oh whine. Not wine. J/K
Check your fluids and primary chain tensioner.

Default RE: Primary Noise
Thanks, I adjusted it about a month ago as there was a little clatter in the primary.
May have been too agressive.&nbsp\\; The whine seems to be louder in neutral.&nbsp\\;
Time for an oil change anyway.
Thanks
