Update on infamous "Gear Whine or Chirp"

[MickO]

Due in large measure to the assistance and information from this board, I was able to substaintialy reduce the problem around the "now famous" gear whine or chirp that is very noticable in the 2nd gen Royal Star Venture. My dealer installed the "I Basket" under warranty. Having all the notes and information supplied by the many members who have experienced this issued helped greatly.

 

I am happy to say that the problem is probably 75% fixed. There is still some noticable chirping but it has moved out of the touring speeds, and the tone of the chirp is no where near as annoying as it was previously. I can live with the chirping sound now.

 

What I cant understand is why Yamaha does not just simply FIX the problem to begin with rather than making owners go through and Un-announced warranty procedure.

Most people buy the bike because it offers a five year warranty.

Its a play of words,

they know its going to have the problems,, but they don't care, heres your five year warranty. You bought it , you own it. See Ya!!!!
