    Hi all,

    My RS has developed a whining noise at low revs (about 2k). It’s actually more like a whistling and is definitely not mechanical. It does it at standstill as well as when riding.

    Anyone noticed this from their RS? I plan to take it in to the dealer but didn’t want to book it in if this is normal.

    Andy.

    It must be an air leak from air box or one of the manifold's

    Thanks capt thought it might be that. I may lift the tank and check the air box is sealed tomorrow before booking it in.

    It must be something else – you'd be able to hear the whining at ALL revs, not just below 2000rpm :rolleyes:

    It’s booked into Gedges Hastings in a few weeks for them to take a look.
