Hi I have just purchased a 2nd hand CBR 1100XX (Dec 2003) model 8000 kms on clock - perfect appearance BUT it produces some terrible gear box (whine) noises!!!!! :-o Also gearbox seems very clunky? :-o Is this normal?? I have just given up a Suzuki GSX F 750 to get this and I am a bit concerned as Suzuki was as quite as a mouse and very smooth. :mad: Thanks NQ Rider
