HT engine whine normal?

Seems like there is plenty of whining about Happy Times around here...doesn't seem at all normal to me. :cool:
 
My engine whines also, but it's the clutch, do I put anything in the hole that the clutch cable holder screws into?
 
The only thing that whines should be your girlfriend, cause you're always out riding - and she's at home watching Dr. Phil.

Please dont delete this (again) mods, I really do think it's funny, and helpful - to the soul.

Good question....i don't now the definitive answer but i put a little grease in mine just to be on the safe side.
It also pays(for routine maintenance purposes) to cut a slot in that holder so the cable can be removed more easily.

Mine is a staccato rattle and is almost as irritating as the loose baffle in my Honda 1100 ACE Cruiser. It sounds like a jackhammer at high speed or heavy load. Sounds like the rods are about to come out, Embarrassing in the least. I will give the cardboard thing a shot, or maybe a piece of neoprene. Thanx Keith (trackfodder) Williams
 
I am trying out another approach. The inside of the cover was cleaned with acetone and 1/16 cork sheet gasket material was glued inside with Gorilla glue (polyurethane glue). If that is still noisy I may try the mousepad idea someone suggested on the outside of the cover.

I intend to replace the philips screws with socket head cap screws. Is there anything that can be used in the way of a lock washer that will not dig into the aluminum, or is locktite best?
