I checked it after a washing, and the slack was perfect, so it must have been hot when I checked it at a red light, so I left it be. Alignment ruined my last chain so this one has been a straight four times! (can't say triple checked) I heard it again today but faintly, so it must just be a new sound for me. Runs so smooth I can't bring myself to think I have a problem, I'll just have to see if it gets any worse. Thanks.

Do you still have a whine with your bike? I recently did the sprockets and chain on mine and I'm having a whine that is noticeable at about 5500 rpm and over 40mph.

Huh. It sounds more like a gear whine, but it could actually be do to the lack of that rubber isolator, or whatever it is? Honestly, it might not be as loud as it seems because of how certain frequencies drone in my helmet. Is there an aftermarket spacer or something that can be used to combat this issue?

:edit: Now that I've done some searching, it looks like whining after changing to aftermarket sprockets is a common problem across all brands. Learn something new erryday. I guess that means it's not a serious cause for concern?

There is a sprocket whine still present on mine. Sounds cool. Some lube makes it quieter. The other whine I was hearing was solved after changing the oil since none was showing up on my dipstick.........
