wining noise

[FreezyRider]

Yamaman, depending on the time of day you're going, 1488 can be miserable. It's a parking lot at the evening rush hour traffic.

Give me a call. I'd be happy to ride over to Waller with you. I'm in Tomball.

Oh yeah, and about Kreg's screamer, IT'S PRETTY LOUD!

My understanding of the clutch basket upgrade is that you need the next letter size up from the one that's in your bike. Say you have a "C" basket, you need a "D". I really don't know anything about the differences in the baskets or why some are noisier than others, but here's an interesting article about the subject.

Guys,

 

Yes a V-Max clutch basket will work in a RSV or RSTD (even any of the 1st gens). However like I have pointed out in the past, it depends on which basket (primary driven gear) you have in your bike now.

 

In fact I did this myself when I rebuilt my 93 and found that my Barnett fiber plates had been eaten up by the basket and destroyed it. But it wasn't a big thing because I had a V-Max bottom end laying there that I had taken the heads off and put on the 93. Since the basket looked good, I wend ahead and finished assembling it with the V-Max basket. And to my surprise when I took her out on the maiden voyage, I now had a loud chirper. Turns out that I had replaced a "G" basket with a "F".

 

I'll cut this story short and get to the point, where you really need to see which gear you have in your bike now. Just remove the basket and look at the alpha character hand etched on the back side of the gear. If you have an "F" gear, it most likely can be replaced and cured by a looser "G" gear.

 

Hope this helps,

 

Rick

Jack,

 

I really think that the "I" basket is being used as a cure-all for any primary gear whine. However it's my experience that the "I" basket (aka Primary Driven Gear) will only cure the problem when the bike currently has a "H" basket in it. I have cured a bike with a "F" basket by replacing it with a "G" basket.

 

If I were you I would check with the dealer that did the change and see which basket came out of it. There will be an alpha character hand etched on the back side of the gear, not anything stamped on the gear. And I'm thinking that they should have the basket setting on a shelf. The problem with checking which gear you have is that you have to completely take the basket out to see the backside of the gear.

 

Good luck,

 

Rick

 

My original basket had NO engraving on the back side.....nada. I "assumed" that it was an H series, which I believe is now the stock basket. My assumption was due to the fact that inside the aluminum basket is a number that starts with 26H and it is cast into the aluminum. Maybe that's not the series, just a coinkydink, I don't know.

If your still under warranty is this a warranty replacement?

May I ask how much the stealer wanted to change the basket out

Thanks Bill

Your bike (2004 I believe) is no longer covered under warranty so my advice would be to purchase the basket and do the swap yourself. It's not that difficult and there's lots of tech info on how to do this here as well as the proper part number is listed.

Why don't the old Vmaxes chirp or whine??? Mine doesn't . It's a '99. I've never even heard of a Vmax producing this type of noise.

I think they do, it's just that because of the shape of the overall machine the sound waves wind up going a different direction.

 

I was at Deal's Gap, parked all the way in toward the cabins/rooms up against the side where the road is. At that point the road was probably twenty or thirty feet away and just above head level. I heard a bike going by that sounded just like an angry sewing machine. I looked up expecting to see an RSV. It was a V-Max. The sound, however, was exactly the same as my RSV when I'm running a little low in the rpms.

 

When I changed windshields to a 3"-under Clearview, the sound from mine changed noticeably. I don't hear nearly as much as I did with the stock windshield.

 

I also think that the frame mounted fairing on the VR prevents the sound waves from being focused on the rider. I'm not saying there might not be other factors in manufacture that might lead to more or less noise on specific designs - perhaps Yamaha paid more attention to tolerances on the VR and earlier V-Maxes leading to less noise. I don't really know. None the less, the potential is there and I've heard it on some.

whined like a democrat on fox news..

 

Can I use that. That's a good quote. - - Not to political is it?

It really depends on how loud you wife is.............:rotfl:

 

 

How much wining noise should I get at 65 mph???
