[QUOTE="svttodd, post: 871412, member: 58294"] The bike is currently in the shop, but the mechanics cannot seem to get the bike to make the noise. The bike has to be ridden hard for about 1/2 hour or more before it will get hot enough to make the loud 'whirrring' noise (the shop does not seem to have enough room for the mechanics to really ride the bike anywhere to get it hot enough). The bike did this noise about four or five different times on about three separate riding days before it went in to the mechanic. The owner of the bike properly broke in the bike, and he recently changed the gear oil (with a dealer reccomended heavier oil), but the bike still makes the noise when hot. I will let him know about the possibility of the kick starter being the culprit, but I don't really think that was where the noise in his bike came from. I wish that I had a stethescope to listen to different areas of the bike closely. Oh well, at least he still has a warranty for a few more months! Any more suggestions of a possible culprit are appreciated. Thanks. -Todd PS- The 'power band' has always been properly cleaned and re-wound by hand after each ride. It was recently replaced with a carbon kevlar unit so it can 'wind out quicker'. - :laugh: [/QUOTE]
