Whine noise
Hi, I have a 98'F3 and I began to hear a whine noise at the end of last season (best described as a turbo charger) when I reach higher speed. It has no correlation with rpm, only how fast I'm going (thus 40mph is louder than 20mph), for which I found out by going 30 then shifting to neutral and the noise persisted. Initially I feared it was the chain, thus I replaced the chain and sprockets (was overdue anyways). Since that didn't take care of the problem I looked into new bearings. After replacing those, there's still no improvement in the whining noise. I heard from a friend that the noise is normal for F3's and is likely due to the stock clutch plate, but to be honest I think you guys would know more about this than him.
Extra info: no whine noise when idle. Also the bike feels a little resistant to being rolled in neutral when I pull it in/out of the garage.
If it's a normal noise, I can live with that. I just don't want something to lock up and result in fall.
Thanks
