RE: Whining noise, possibly suspension related? - 2

But Paul, is she then (very) quiet once you've turned the engine off?

No mate, it then seems louder.

Louder still when her helmet is removed

Many years ago (and 3 marriages ago) my 1st wife to be agreed to a ride up to the country on my then KZ 1300 fuel injected, 6 cylinder shaft drive tourer. It was a big, heavy thing.
She had not been on a motorcycle before, so I was taking it easy on a major, but quiet 2 lane road (for Melbournians- the road to Yea). We moving along, and she hits me on the back. I thought, "Ok" and I cranked it up slightly. A bit further down the road, she hits me again, with more urgency, so I crank it up again. Reset-Repeat and it got to the point where the KZ was showing me its limits, or vice versa; and I just could not comply and pulled over to try and urge moderation.

Well, as a harbinger of life thereafter, it seemed that she was not wanting to have me speed up, but wanted me to slow down. She was an angry as a Rhode Island Red that had just copped a bucket of water. In the middle of no where, she was screaming so loud that crows on the power lines 100 feet away were disturbed. Finally she tore off her helmet and chucked it down the road, bouncing from one side to the other as she stamped her feet and screamed.

It left me with two regrets. The first was that the new helmet I had bought for her was dinged and scrapped. I have kept the helmet.
The second was the subsequent marriage. I have not kept that wife.

Even though the whining from the rear end of the KZ was "fixed", it thereafter continued in another form for about 15 years.

The life lesson? Don't ignore the whining and get rid of it as soon as possible....
