Mine have a bit of whine from 40-50mph just cruising. Give it throttle and it goes away. If you did not use 75W-140 you could try that. I added posi additive even with MOBIL 1 synthetic gear oil on the recommendation of Brenspeed. Mine is a slight whine and if I didn't tell a rider they would probably not hear it. The only way to make it go away is to change the gearset. If it bothers you that much or is so loud that it affects normal levels of conversation that is what is needed. My mechanic said if I was unhappy with mine to get a set of Auburn, etc. gears and he would change them. If it got better I paid for the installation again. If it still whined he would not charge me. I have no problem with mine. My exhaust is more annoying! mark

Ah maybe thats my problem. I used 75-90 royal purple from mustang tuning.

Sorry, many guys have Royal Purple 75W-90 without trouble as it's probably the best even that weight. How bad is the whine? Is it really that loud where it affects conversation, radio, etc? Or do you know it's there because you were told it may be there? Mine is more like a whistle than a deep whine. Like a jet engine reving before takeoff but not at that level of course! A high pitch.

No its not that bad. Only at like 40mhp its a slight whine sound and its goes away when I let off the gas or speed past 50 mph.
