'94 transmission "whine"

[hootmon]

still on my trip back from Va... I elected to give up on my MP3 player and just go with earplugs... With the earplugs in, there is a notable transmission whine in 4th and 5th gear under load... I am unsure if this has always been there, or something new... My bike has near 70K... does this sound familiar to anyone... Can some try some foam earplugs and take a quick run on their Gen 3 and see if you hear a whine from the tranny??? If I pull in the clutch or let off the gas the whine goes away... I replaced my oil just prior to the present trip... The chain could be a little tighter, but nothing major... Any suggestions? Helpful comments??Thanx

I don't have any earplugs but I will listen real close on the way into work tomorrow.  Sometimes i hear something that sounds like a tranny whine  but I have always written it off to tire or road surface noise.  I have 19000 miles btw.

I ride with ear plugs and have not noticed any "whine" from my bike.  Also only have 19K on "Serenity".

I also ride with earplugs, but that is because I am losing my hearing (and lots of other important faculties, ) and want to preserve what I have left as best I can.

Add in the Cobra Pipes, helmet wind noise, tires on the road noise, etc., etc., and I don't hear any tranny noise at all!!  Or much of anything else, for that matter...

I was unable to reproduce it on my bike sorry, but if a whine turns up you will be the first to know!!

The only whine I ever hear from a Magna is "I need to stop for fuel". ha ha ha (ducking and running)

You're right Allen, at 50 mph the Valk tranny howls like a banshee, and my Kury chrome tranny cover seems to amplify it.

Ain't that the truth  ..

I don't get to ride Brenda's Magna much anymore, but haven't noticed any tranny whine when I have.

I have not noticed a whine in "Baby Vee" since I bought her.

I suggest you put your MP3 player back in your ears, put on AC/DC Live and turn it waaaay up. This should eliminate the whining noise.

It also might help to buy some fresh feta cheese to enjoy with your whine. Just a thought.

How much do you want for that cat with the Star Trek hairdo

Sorry.. he got a little too close to a light socket.. He got good reception of the electricity too..

Hope his is better than mine on the digital converter box. My stuff gets pixelated off and on and the audio has a bunch of trash white noise in it when the volume is up above average.
