After riding 250 miles on the 4th I was convinced I needed mine replaced(07 Venture, 1600 mi). The whine was very noticable, tiring even. I rode into work this morning planning to leave early and stop by the Yam dealer and ask about it.
I barely noticed any whine if any at all. I rode with a half helmet both times so that isn't a factor. I wonder if it isn't temperature sensitive as was already mentioned, it was in the 85-90 degree range wednesday.
Has anyone noticed the noise to be intermitant? Sometimes very irritating other times barely noticable at all?
Maybe I'll learn more this afternoon since the forcast is for temps in the 90's.
