Eddy Posted June 24, 2008 #1 Posted June 24, 2008 I just rode my Venture home from the dealer after the clutch basket exchange on the gears. All I can say is I "think" I can hear a small difference and it might just be in my head because I can definitely still hear the whine and chirping. It was a warranty repair and the basket that went in looked exactly like the one that came out. Even the mechanic couldn't tell the difference. I think it's a sound I'll have to live with until I trade it to a wing or a newer version of the Venture without the whine. Eddie
Tartan Terror Posted June 24, 2008 #2 Posted June 24, 2008 I had no change in mine. Im not sure what my next move will be. Al I know is there isnt a Yammy dealer that is worth a damn within 50 mile of me.
Guest LeeAT Posted June 24, 2008 #3 Posted June 24, 2008 Most of the whine in mine was a loose bearing in the final drive, you may want to have the dealer check for that. Lee
GigaWhiskey Posted June 24, 2008 #4 Posted June 24, 2008 One day I might hear what this whine is on a 2nd gen. Mine has a whine but that is because of the straight cut gears (I think). But yanno, I totally dig that whine!
bill04 Posted June 24, 2008 #5 Posted June 24, 2008 Not sure about that whine ,but I did change both tires for two Dunlop Elite 3, cleaned and re-greased the whole rear end and the drive shaft joints as well aligned and re torqued everything and this baby is running smooth and no more noise . No clicking or growling and the noise I had ,some kind of whining must of come from the Brickstones . I only ear the sound of the HD pipes ,the clutch I don't have a problem whit so I don't know about that whining everyone is talking about .
Trainwreck68 Posted June 25, 2008 #6 Posted June 25, 2008 I don't notice a whine on my bike either. My 2 previous bikes had straight cut gears also, maybe I'm used to it. Of course I had a Harley too so ALL noises sound normal to me!
