Mkdonian Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Hi newbie here, Got a ybr yesterday and took her out for a little ride today, getting into 3rd and there was a whining noise when I pulled the throttle back. Can someone tell me if this is normal or signs of a gearbox problem? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbob Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 The first thing I would do before jumping to any conclusions is an oil and filter change regardless of anything the previous owner has told you. It might just be thinned out or broken down oil.What's the mileage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mkdonian Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 It's had an engine change and this one has done a total of 18,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Lube/adjust the chain would be my first thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mkdonian Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 Took it out again earlier and when I got back I noticed the the chain is rubbing on the centre stand. I know this is not the cause of the noise but could relate to the chain in need of adjustment. Just baffles me why it onluly happens in 3rd! Not really liking the bike anyway so as soon as I get the v5 it might be going up for sale. Just wish I had the money to do my big boy licence.
