I have read that all viragos whine when lifting off.

Dropped the oil and clean as a whistle, no nasty filings at all.

Garage happy and said its down to the gears having no play so just ride.

Can anyone confirm this?

A lot of Yamaha's have a gearbox whine especially the shaft drive models.

Sounds like a spaceship, or a bit like Luke Skywalker's speeder-thing?

Perfectly normal. Kinda cool if you like sci-fi, as well.

Yep, that sound is normal.

Sounds even better on a Dragstar, though!!

However, WTF is up with that rider's gear changes, man?

Is that just the recorder, or is his idle somewhat fuck'ed?

It goes back as far as the TR1 (forerunner of the Virago). My gears whine going up and down :)
