Xciting 700i / Re: rubbing/whining sound when first accelerating

@redk...LOL.
I spoke with the shop and they said its normal for that type of clutch system, the noise generates when it goes into gear...which sounds like a bunch of bs to me. Redk, how do i lube it? Im mechanically challenged but not afraid to get it done. is it a simple to do?

Thanks guys, glad it doesn't sound too terrible. I brought it into the shop for the yearly maintenance and asked them to take a look at it.

Hi guys, sorry for about the delay. Im located in Philly area. Im going to try to record the noise this weekend. Its only happens when i start off and accelerating.  it happens more when starting off slow verse a quick punch. it then stops around 15-20mph. Does it need to be oiled or anything? I have to schedule my one year maintenance too so i hope that will fix it. i have close to 6K miles so i don't know if thats considered new or not.

hi, anyone ever hear a rubbing/whining like sound(im mechanically challenged when it comes to motors) when first accelerating? The sound comes from the back almost near the rear tire so I don't know if its transmission or anything to do with the throttle. It hppens more when i start off slow. it happens after its warmed up too. its very inconsistent which makes difficult to describe. Can i rev the engine when its on the center stand to record the noise?
thanks

Just joined the forum and wow. Being riding myroad 700 for about two months. First bike ever and it's amazing more than I ever thought it would be.
