So my bike has done this ever since I got it, but I am wondering if its normal.

If I am going like 20mph+ and down shift into first gear while holding downt he clutch it kind of makes a winding down noise

It only does this when I shift into first with the clutch in

This a normal sound?

 

i got the same thing before... i just figured that the bike is telling you "dont do that... it hurts me" (bike's way of crying) so i never wanted to hurt my bike ever again after that!

 

First gear in most any tranny will be loud at a fair speed.

 

Mine wines.

 

mine makes it too, just another sound to get use to

totally normal. my bike does that to...........if you feel like your having to stomp it in to 1st gear i wouldnt down shift unless you reduce your speed

 

Same here, just dealn wit it

 

Normal.To stop mine from "whining" ,i just wait till im under 10mph..Less stress on the bike..

 

yeah mine does that too... same thing with my car. perfectly normal...

 

Mine does the same glad its normal, mine actually makes that sound when i release the clutch in first slowly. Its probably not good for the bike but i've been driving my car this way (02 RSX) for 5yrs and still runs like the day i bought it
