Hi People, longtime reader, first time member/poster
Ive just bought a brand new 1300r, it came from the shop with a set of yoshi r77 slipons. I have owned many gsxr's over the years, 600's,750's,1000s with R77's etc but first time with a hayabusa (now married and need to have something the wife can enjoy too). Took the demo for a ride, no issues, wife found it comfortable so bought one.
On my ride home from the shop I instantly noticed a horrible hard to explain, kind of like "low pitched buzzing/electrical arcing/static noise". It sounds like the buzz of a power transformer on the roadside when you walk past it. Its easily heard over the drone of the r77's and gets right into the inner ear. I thought, ok must be the exhausts, so I put the baffles in, these made the pipes quieter so I could hear the other noise more....
The odd thing is, this noise does not vary with rpm or speed. Ive had the windscreen out, standard pips back on but it makes no difference. I took the bike back to the shop and explained the issue. A mechanic took it for a ride around the block and said it was fine and he could not hear the sound. I took their demo again and I could not hear the sound, jump back on mine and immediately notice it. They said i must have a hearing issue and would not investigate further.
I tried earplugs but this frequency of noise is either above or below what the plugs can reduce. I cannot ride this for long periods as it kills my head, Im posting here as a last effort before i sell it and go 14r or something sim.
Anyone any ideas experience?
Thanks
