#181536 mcbrune (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 57 Whine at high RPMs 3 Years, 1 Month ago   Was out for a ride today, still getting used to the bike, and loving every minute of it. Anyway, regaurdless of gear, as my rpms get in the higher ranges I hear a pronounced whine, very high pitched, if I shift, the rpms drop and the whine goes away until I get into high rpms again. I still have the AIS system on the bike, but i thought that it was more active on decel, while this noise is occuring while accelerating, any ideas where I should look, or is this a normal sound not worth my worry? Thanks again, I love this forum, and my roadie!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #181541 stinger (User) Hey y'all...watch this!

Unplug the vacuum hose from it & plug the line with a small bolt, then take it for a ride & see if it quietens down.   Logged     http://s671.photobucket.com/home/jhurdle/index   The administrator has disabled public write access. #181543 mcbrune (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 57 Re:Whine at high RPMs 3 Years, 1 Month ago   Well it's at least worth trying, factor out some possibilities. Is the AIS always dumping air into the exhaust? I had thought that it was mostly on decel, but that must be wrong. I'll likely be capping the system soon anyway, but the wife is already giving me a hard time for spending too much on the bike, but there is sooo much i'd like to buy   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #181546 stinger (User) Hey y'all...watch this! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1397 Re:Whine at high RPMs 3 Years, 1 Month ago   There's some vacuum on it all the time I think, but plugging the line should effectively disable it so you can test it. Before I bought the flanges for mine I plugged the vac line & the 2 hoses going to the jugs & went ahead & removed the AIS system. Worked just fine till I got the flanges.   Logged     http://s671.photobucket.com/home/jhurdle/index   The administrator has disabled public write access. #181549 mcbrune (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 57 Re:Whine at high RPMs 3 Years, 1 Month ago   And best of all, thats free! I'll have to try that and take a test ride when i get out again tomorrow.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #181609 Stoby (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 9 Re:Whine at high RPMs 3 Years, 1 Month ago   Hi Might be off but my bike started whining and it was my belt pulley coming loose,Very unsafe/dangerous check yours.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #181716 Aussie B (User) I intend to live forever, so far so good Senior Boarder Posts: 366 Re:Whine at high RPMs 3 Years, 1 Month ago   Was it the Mrs's telling you to slow down?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #181717 Jade68454 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1237 Re:Whine at high RPMs 3 Years, 1 Month ago   hey tell the wife you saved so much by purchasing the R* instead of a hd why not spend a lil extra making it yours!   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/04/05 00:44 By Jade68454.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #181738 johna (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 103 Re:Whine at high RPMs 3 Years, 1 Month ago   m8 They are a very noisy bike, with the ais and the drive belt both combining at at the same frequency, freeks you out, i was thinking there was something wrong in the clutch area. but i mostly try to keep it out of my head. then you dont hear it anymore.The more mechanicaly minded you are the louder it seems.you will get used to it. johna.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #181859 Yamikaze (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 110 Re:Whine at high RPMs 3 Years, 1 Month ago   I have noticed this sound ever since I owned the bike. Its a normal sound. Removing the AIS had no effect for me. A friend of mine that owns a Roadie noticed the same thing on his. Kind of resembles the sound of a turbo charged engine. Nothing to worry about as far as I can tell. An MP3 player has helped me to get rid of the the noise   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
