rstd with a jet engine sound!

[starcruiser]

I'm just wondering if all of your 06rstd's/ventures have a whirring sound like a jet engine when you roll the throttle? I was out Saturday and parked beside a venture that didn't have that sound. Mine has, since it was bought new last August. I thought it was due to the 4 cylinders? Milage and acceleration are both great but definitely doesn't have a V-twin sound. Should I be worried? What can you yama-experts tell me?

If your talking about a sound like the car on "The Jettisons" . That's the chirp some of them have.

[Guest gitarzan]

My 03 does that at certain rpm. I can hear a sound like high speed air stream being sucked. Sounds like a jet. I assumed it was the carbs drawing air.

[starcruiser]

but yes, it's a little like that. The big question(s) is: Will it damage the motor? Should I be concerned?

It's a special feature that is built in with most of our bikes. If your ride is still under warranty you can try to convince the dealer to replace the clutch basket with the I-basket. This has helped some people.

[BuddyRich]

No, it won't hurt it. ITs a normal sound made by theses bikes. Just do a search for chirp and that will answer your questions. Of course it may take years to read all the stuff posted about the chirp.

[starcruiser]

Gitarzan described it perfectly!! It does swoosh like an air stream through an engine. Must be all that power packed in there!

I appreciate the instant feedback. It's nice to know somebody out there has answers!

Well, there are answers and then there are opinions. Not always the same. Caveat emptor on that.

The whine or "chirp" of my 99 certainly isn't an "air swooshing" sound.

 

I would inspect all the connections in the intake to ensure you don't have a leak.

I don`t meen to steal your thunder.... I just bought a `01 RSV that has that chirp sound, beleave its the cluch.... much like StarCruiser, I am wanting to know if that will hurt anything, or is it about to go south on me. The bike only has 3K miles on it.. Thanks

That Jet engine sound isn't exclusive to the 2gens. One of my '83's started it right after tuning and syncing the carbs. We just did Lyle D's 87 yesterday and when he took off down the road I could hear it making that jet engine noise as well. It's not a chirp, but a sound like a high speed turbine intake. I think it sounds kinda cool......

[RSTDinPA]

I thought the Turbine Engined RSV's weren't due out until 2008? (tongue-in-cheek). I think they will also have seat backs, tray tables, and oxygen masks in the overheard compartment. Fight Attendant optional.
