    Hi guys, ok so I collected my 07 rr6 on Weds,

    What I have noticed is if I accelerate hard there appears to be whine noise from the bike, usually in third gear upwards, almost like a rally car with the whiny transmission they have..

    Maybe its meant to sound like that under hard acceleration combined with the Arrow can and airbox working hard ?

    Any advice as the Cbr is a new breed to me having previously had zx10r, gsxr k6 and a speed triple..

    Thanks for any advice

    Dan ;)

    Must be quite a whine if you hear it while Popping on. Mine doesn't do it.

    Chain tension and condition may be worth a look.
