June 17, 200917 yr Dude, its probably just your brain trying to figure out what bike you are riding now...... You must change bikes more than your underwear, oops, I forgot, you are from Saltspring. Either dont wear undies, or something made of hemp material.

June 18, 200917 yr Author It's happened on my SY's in the past - a likely cause is the clutch plates not fully disengaging - change the trannie fluid for your favoured type - 10/40 gear oil, ATF or Light gear all - all work ok, then spray a little degreaser on the clutch actuating arm (top of left side crank case) followed by some WD 40.

June 23, 200917 yr Author You dont ride with ND do you? you mean ..do I ride around with No Direction??
June 23, 200917 yr Had five new Scorpas SY 250s from when they were released till I changed to Gas Gas and all had the whine.

Dont be to concerned, if you had been around to hear the whine of the Aprilla Trials bikes you wouldnt give yours a second thought.
