    gsx1100sz 5th gear noise

    Hello!

    Katana expertise needed: I'm buying the above mentioned bike and today was on a test ride. engine seemed to be healthy, 1 to 4 gears worked ok but when on the 5th gear there was a loud whining noise no matter what the rpm was.

    A clutch problem?

    Not the clutch, the 2 gears used by 5th are probably worn.

      I agree with Robin, also I have heard that the gearbox bearing can wear fairly easily.
