I've just noticed a strange noise...

[ozbar]

I swear ive never heard this before...the bike only has about 100 miles on it. In drive mode from around 3rd gear on wards when accelerating a strange higher pitch sound through the gears...ill try and record it if poss. I told my dealer..they think its nothing and told me to mention it when i bring it in for the 600 service...any ideas

I wouldn't worry unduly, both the manual and DCT bikes do a fair bit of 'clunking' when going through the gearbox, thats why most of the DCT boys stick it in SPORT mode, we're too busy grinning to hear anything

Hey Scotsy
Its not clunking..its a whirling noise during acceleration...no idea...but will try different modes and get a recording too..

This has been covered before https://www.crosstourer.com/index.php/topic,1623.msg17382.html#msg17382

Marvincon was worried as well

Cameras anywhere near an engine 'pick-up' or 'magnify' many weird noises and you are proabaly better off not listening to them

Could the whirring/whining noise you have noticed not just be the inherant V4 noise (have you had a V4 before?) or the DCT operation?

Don't worry .....be happy!!  or ..............








wear earplugs

Never had a v4 before...so you're probably right

thanks

Ive never had a V4 before and have to agree with Scotsy it does make some weird noises

[Doc]

If the noises it makes change - then worry, not before

Short bit of video i took today

so many noises

but i don't worry about any of them
