Those things have a high and low axle. Are you sure your in high axle when in 6th, not supposed to be in low axle when in high gear, least ways not going as fast as 35-40.[sm=icon_stickpoke.gif]

 

My '05 Repsol has a little whine in 6th. It's not too loud, just barely noticeable. I'm not worried about it. It's got almost 7,000 miles on it now, and it's not any louder than it was.

 

I just boughta 20006 cbr1000rr... i have about 450 miles on it.. I would say, for the amount of money the stupid dealership charges for worthless fee take it to the dealership ,., make them spend some money for once, fixing it if anything is wrong..

 

hmmmmmm? a 20006 i wonder what ur bike looks like ..im sure by that time ur bike is a jet not just a bike .. lol j/k

 

By that time... Who knows whats going to be happening... lol... I wish 20006 ..

 

Mine makes the same noise too, only in 6th. Except it's right at about 4k rpm and giving it a little roll on and putting it under load. No biggie. It's kind of like a whine, but hard to hear if it's there faster because of wind noise, like you said. No other gear does this.
Oh, mine's an '07 with almost 1000 miles on it.

 

One thing you could try is to run the bike through the gear on good rear stand. But just be for sure that it is not going to slip off. This way you can listen to everything.

 

This might not have anything to do with it, but... Do you have an aftermarket pipe? A power commander? Maybe your problem is it those items

 

Thanks for all the input, guys. The bike is stock and I don't plan any mods this year. I'll try the stand, but I'm pretty sure that I'll hear the wine. Right now, I'm thinking that I'll just ignore it unless it gets louder. Since I can't find any issues on other sites relating to the transmission issues, I'll assume it's semi-normal for now.

 

Ok............ I really looked into this and....

IT IS YOUR BIKE SCREAMING AT YOU TO DOWN SHIFT & LET THE BIKE GO!
just like a Lobster when you put it in the pot alive...... YYYYYYUMMMY!
