mred600 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I've recently bought a 2003 Fazer600 and find the gearbox has quite a low pitched whine in 1st 2nd and 3rd gears, it could be there in the higher gears as well but when you are up to speed you can't hear it. This is the first Fazer i've had and the first Yamaha since a 350LC in the 80's. Is it a characteristic of these boxes or can anyone give me any advice please?

I've not noticed a whine on my bike, but I wear ear plugs most of the time. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
