Good one Simon. Persistence paid off. Now question is if I should approach my dealer or not with my 5th gear whine on my 2010 XT1200A First Edition...
Simon, Just curious who your dealer is. I bought my bike from Groombridges in Sussex ( I am in Seaford E Sx), they have been good to deal with. No probs with my bike at present (but going to give it a ride and listen for noises as mine may be close to yours in serial numbers)Simon said:I think you are correct to say that my only problem was the audible noise, i couldn't even tell you with certainty that i expected any mechanical failure further down the line, i'm just a bit of a perfectionist and have an expectation from working with Japanese car makers that 'every one is EXACTLY the same' - it's my experience of the results they get from the mindset they apply during development.
I undertand completely....and if they get rid of the noise under warranty, why not? ::008::Simon said:I think you are correct to say that my only problem was the audible noise, i couldn't even tell you with certainty that i expected any mechanical failure further down the line, i'm just a bit of a perfectionist and have an expectation from working with Japanese car makers that 'every one is EXACTLY the same' - it's my experience of the results they get from the mindset they apply during development.

Now that right there is funny!! And, if you add some wine the whine sometimes gets worse, sometimes better!Don in Lodi said:I'm coming off 15 years and a 110,000 miles on a Royal Star. Most of y'all don't know gear whine. However, I know some of you from a previous life, some of you do know whine.
::015:: Accelerate harder and you will not hear the whine. ::021::thecynic said:Only about 1K on the bike so far. For me, it starts in 5th as I am accelerating and then is constant in 6th. Always the same, doesn't vary
Any new information out there since these last posts? I am trying not to worry, but...............
What bout sixth gear?Geekay said:It's def 5th gear related though. You can sit at the same speed in 4th and there's no noise. Click it up to fifth and there's the whining. Very odd.
