Mine started to quiet down about 9-10k. silky smooth now at 18k.
really? same sort of symptoms? - thats a couple of people have agreed.RoboCop said:Mine started to quiet down about 9-10k. silky smooth now at 18k.
There is sort of a 'yeah mine' thread in this forum somewhere, but it's really old. I don't remember the forum member name, but the his dealer agreed there was a whine and took care of it. In this case, it had something to do with the topography of the gear surface on an almost microscopic level. Absolutely no effect on reliability, but the whine bothered the rider.Geekay said:really? same sort of symptoms? - thats a couple of people have agreed.
Anyway - its in for a service on friday - i booked it in today - its due in July, but i'm off for a european tour to the alps on the 18th July, so i'll get it done now and looked at.
I'm getting some new tyres at the same time - just need to decide between "road 4's" and "anakee 3's" - but thats another thread.
Well, I totally understand that it's a bit too late to acknowledge "I have this too", mine s10 has this at 30K miles. Did your whiny 5th gear story got a happy ending ? However, considering the number of people staing that this is normal in both threads...This didn't work out too well really. My dealer test ride it when it was in for service and tyres (I went for pilot road 4's btw) and acknowledged that it whined but didn't think it represented a problem.
I'm not sure what to do now. I'm not really bothered if there isn't an impact to reliability. If it's some design of the cog that makes it whine in normal operation then I can live with it. Has anyone got a whiny 5th and done a lot of miles on it? Any actual issues (other than the noise) to report?
