2007 Scrambler 500 winding noise
Just picked up an 07 Scrammy 500. Everything seems great except for a crazy whining or winding noise coming from what appears to be the tranny. Anyone else experience this? If so, what am I looking at to fix it? It's loud as hell, drowns out the sound of the motor and only happens in forward gear and when I'm on the gas.

Man this can be anything from a Russian or Chinese bearings howling that a lot of models used,a silent chain that isn't silent any more or a worn set of gears or engagement dogs.Dirt Cheap Yamaha, Polaris, Suzuki & Kawasaki OEM Parts & Accessories – Cycle Parts Warehouse If it's making that much noise,time to tear it down.

More trouble taking stuff off the machine so you can pull the gear case out than the actual work involved in repairing it. Hopefully it's just a worn out silent chain as most sport models are usually run hard and the chains do stretch over time along with an occasional bad shaft bearing. Just be sure to check all gears for worn teeth and engagement dogs along with worn shift forks.Use either Polaris AGL or suitable oil for chain driven gear cases.
