I don´t know if it´s the belt or not, but I´m getting a lot of whine on acceleration that I thought was the gears. It just may be the belt. My dealer said it was the pcv valve, but I´m not buying it. It´s very annoying, and I´m taking the bike in and try to get a straight answer. Is anyone else hearing this loud whine? If you´re just cruising on level road, it goes away.
