Thanks Rocky. You hit the nail on the head. I am hearing transmission noise. I hear the noise when I run the bike up to about 30 to 40 mph in first gear and then pull in the clutch and coast. I freaked out because, 1) I had never noticed the noise before and or 2) I had justpulled the front wheel for a tire change and reinstalled it so I was listening for anything abnormal that would indicate a problem.

Ionly hear the noise when I leave the bike in first gear. If I shift into neutral or into second, it goes away. I know that it is normal noise. Well, maybe flushing with MMO or Seafoam will help it a little.

I hear a whine coming from the rear after 2 or 3 hundred miles...no wait...that's the boss talking through the intercom.

I went out this evening and drained off 1 quart of oil from my engine. I put in a quart of MMO to replace it. I 0'd out the trip meter and will run the MMO for about 200 to 300 miles and then do a filter change, drain all oil and fill with fresh Castrol 20W50.

I compared the oil that I removed to the oil that I put in my truck. (5w30) Both oils look very similar in consistancy. I do believe that the P.O. was using 5wxx oil in the bike. It should quiet down once itis cleaned out and the new 20w50 oil is added.

I'll report back my findings.

Your bike might benifit from 20/50?

I run 5w40 Mobile 1 with no problems, the 5w makes it start easier and Idol better, helped my starter out alot! Within 5 minutes of riding it's 40w oil! Probably will switch to 10w40 "Royal Purple" max cycle oil next time! (Royal Purple oil)google?

10w40 or15w40 is a good oil for a Wing because of the radiator cooling. Not sure if 50w is the best choice for a Wing, I would always run it in a Harley or RoadStar(Air Cooled motor)!
