    Hi all,

    Has anyone noticed whining noises coming from (what I think) is the left hand side of the bike? Noticeable when riding and very noticeable when clutching in and coasting.

    If you hear that noise when your parked up ,its probably your wife complaining about you going out for a ride on a sunny day when you should be doing household chores lol.

    Known issue, discussed at length on other forums....
    I think it's related to this letter from Honda US:-
    I don;t want to panic you though and you should really take it to dealer to get it checked out.

    It seems it's possible to fix the whining noise yourself!
