    Question 09 gs whining noise

    Is this a common sound? Seems like it has a whining noise coming from the transmission maybe? I'm new to bikes and not really familiar with all the sounds just yet. Any input is appreciated. Thanks. By the way it's an SE5 with 1200 miles on it.

    If you are referring to sounds the makes when backing up, its very normal. Forward, not so sure there.

    Take it to the dealer and they let you know if it should concern you. Did it happen before?

    When I'm going in first gear around 15Mph, mine makes an intermittent whining noise. I assume it's normal

    Im guessing it's kinda normal. It is in lower gears also. The closest can am shop is about an hour away. I really wished there was more certified ppl around to work on them.

    It also could be the belt is too tight. You can jack it up and turn the rear tire by hand and take a listen. The first time I did it I was shocked to hear the belt groaning loudly. I then loosened it up (you can look up the Krik-it II thread for instructions) and the groaning went away. Although, I still get the brake squeal when in reverse.

    What's up with the brake squeal in reverse? Mine does it too. Starting thinking my brakes was going bad.
