I've owned a lot of Suzukis over the years and more than one of them has had a whine in one or more gears. Never had a gearbox failure though. My advice is to use a semisynthetic oil, keep the level at the "Full" mark and ride it like you stole it!

I don't know why these Guzzi owners live in denial....you've only got to look at the capping plate on the shaft drive. It still has PTO (power take off) stamped on it for when you want to connect up the harrow![]()
I'm not sure what all that has to do with DR650 gearbox noise. I was watching this thread with a keen eye in hope someone finds an answer incase our one developes a whine too, but it all seems to have fallen apart in pointless post count boosting dribble.![]()

I don't think my DR whines in 3rd but it'd have to be pretty far gone to hear it over the..... wind noise..... yeah, wind noise![]()
Both my CB250RS and a Suzuki Intruder I rode have had gearbox whine in 5th. My RS is getting on a bit, but the Intruder was near brand new -- I took it over 5000kms while I was borrowing it. Is this just a problem endemic to all Suzukis and decrepit Hondas?
In seriousness though, hope it's not a sign of approaching carnage. Any more theories?
My XR dosn't have it and it's a bit older than your CB but I don't often get into 5th on it.
