Transmission/clutch whine (Read 87 times)

Posts: 27	Transmission/clutch whine 03/12/19 at 07:28:01 When I shift into first from neutral, or downshift into first while moving, my transmission or clutch makes a whining/buzzing noise, similar to throwout bearing noise in a car. Anyone experience this? Is it a problem? Perhaps just a cold weather problem? Any suggestions?

Yes.
No...not yet...I don't think so...I hope not.
Warm and cold weather for me.
Stay on the throttle. Wink

I don't get a buzz, but my transmission whines anytime I decelerate or downshift. Other's have noticed this too, but no one has ever had to rebuild their gearbox so it's probably not a problem.

With Ryca's swing arm angle, the belt tightens when a rider's weight compresses the suspension, so tension settings done with no rider are inaccurate. Loosening the belt a little caused the noise to stop.
