Gear Driven Whine??

Six95 · September 30, 2009, 03:31:31 AM

Why is it some monsters have that really nice sounding whine (supercharger-ish) whilst others don't.
Is it a problem with there bikes or is it some secret bling?
It's not particular to any engine type either.

few things here, timing belt tention, clutch wear, type of exhausts.. etc.. my open belts cant compete with my clutch or exhausts for noise, but every now and then they peak through.

Hmmm, my duc started to whine like it was supercharged a couple of months ago. It's been in the shop for a few weeks now waiting on new bearings. Looks like it was a bearing on the shaft that drives the cam belts. I no likey this noise.

is this when accelerating on engine braking (gently)?

Six95 · September 30, 2009, 02:18:06 PM

When accelerating - easy or hard

Six95 · September 30, 2009, 02:18:58 PM

oh, and faintly when at idle too

Maybe some of those rare bevel drive Monsters?

Have you noticed it on an Ozmo bike ... I'm a bit worried a problem I am not even aware of. Anybody that has seen me ride knows I don't have a supercharger

Haven't noticed it on any ozmo bikes.
I really noticed it when we went to the concourse. Everyone was using Victoria road as a drag strip and there were some pleasant sounding whines, some louder than others.

Is it an open belt cover thing do you think?

Mine does that when going from 2nd down to 1st coming into a stop. 550km on the bike. I thought it was just breaking in. As I havnt been above 6000rpms on it either. pfft pffft. yep. i know. patiently waiting to hit the 1000km mark.

Does sound kinda cool but weird...

But is it good?

?

Nope. Just gearing down. And only in first. Definately engine noise. No brakes.
