alexanderfoti Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Hi allI have a Varadero xl125 with 12000 miles on the clock. Recently its been whining a little bit between 4 and 8k rpm. Its quite a high pitched whine and really annoying, making me think I should look into it a bit more.Its louder from the left hand side of the engine and you can hear it more on deceleration (mostly because of the exhaust)Turn your volume down, its loud! Its had an oil and filters service less than 1000 miles ago (by me). Any ideas? Quote
alexanderfoti Posted August 16, 2012 Author Posted August 16, 2012 You checked the oil recently? Yup, Level is spot on Quote
pointblank0 Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Sounds like a gasket has blown a small hole. Put a bit of soapy water round the gaskets and fire it up and look for bubbles (if it is that) Quote
alexanderfoti Posted August 16, 2012 Author Posted August 16, 2012 Ahh cool, I will give that a go, many thanks. Quote
pointblank0 Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 Did you get to the bottom of this problem? Quote
