Title: Top gear whistle
Post by: saxman on August 23, 2016, 15:17:03

Is it normal for the bike to whistle / whine in top, or is it something I should be worried about?

Mine does this in 3rd and 6th. It doesn't worry me...

Nothing to worry about. It's the high pressure steam release valve on the front cylinder....
