I'd be more concerned about the aftermarket sensor, install a known working Yamaha sensor before changing other parts. And I agree with above, everything worked fine before the aftermarket cruise control.............. disconnect it to eliminate it as the source of the problem. Maybe in the...

Yes, I had a flashlight above and caused the oil to shine a bit silver. Here's the same pleat with no flashlight. There are no metal particles. I could remove a pleat and wrap it in a towel to squeeze the oil out if that would help see any contamination. I agree 20k is a bit far for a filter...

Here's the oil filter, I couldn't find anything shiny in any pleat. This filter has been in service for 20,000 kms. I do have a video of the whine noise, can't get it to attach here. I measured the position of the rear cam chain guide with the stock tensioner and original chain, and noted how...

And I discovered............... I can install a #4 in place of a #3, put the key in the lock and file the #4 down to the barrel and voila, I now have a #3!

Mine measures 12.8mm.

@~TABASCO~ , I did replace the Yamaha CCT with a Graves MCCT about 3000 kms ago, along with a new OEM cam chain. Had both cams out to set the valves and there was no wear in the head or cam bearing journals. Very little wear in the original cam chain compared to the new one. None of these...

Thanks Jlq1969, I see that now in the periodic maintenance section, I was looking in the engine/oil pump section. It appears the pressure test port is the flat socket head plug with m20x1.5 thread..... not in my tool drawer.

I rode the bike to Romney, WV last week. Bike ran fine and everything seemed normal, the whine persists. One morning I started the engine from cold and let it it fast idle on the side stand, the whine (now more of a screech) became significantly louder and the engine RPM lugged down to nearly a...

I spin mine around regularly in my garage using the center stand, never the side stand. I doubt if either stand would work on anything but concrete or cool asphalt, the leg would just sink into dirt.

I have this kit, 59C-281C0-00, and similar to a valve shim kit I've used up all of one size tumbler #3 which is 5.5 mm. Unlike a shim kit the tumbler is not available separately so I'm hoping to buy or swap a few from someone who may have extras. I have an abundance of #1 and #4 to swap.

And then use kit 59c-281c0-00 to re-key your new locks to match your ignition.

Okay then..... but PMA?

Rabbit and tortoise I understand........ but what about 'STAY'?

I think I have eliminated the stator as being the source of the noise. As mentioned, the system voltage is 13.9 to 14.1 while riding, I unplugged the stator and the whining persists, resistance between any 2 of the 3 poles is .4 ohms, none show a path to ground. The FSM says .11 to .17 ohms...

95 mph indicated is likely closer to 85 - 88 actual.
