I have an 05 636 and at 9500 RPM i'm hearing this noise that is different from the rest of the engine noise. Almost like something differnt is going on in the engine, not sure if its bad or not, i know there are different things that are new in the engine that i have not really read about. Any ideas?? Thanks.

At 8k the exhaust valve starts to open and the sound of the exhaust changes slightly. Could this be what you're hearing?

Mine has developed what sounds like a buzzing at 9000rpm, it goes away above that, and is nonexistant before that. Of course, this COULD be my cam chain tensioner, but i doubt it would appear all of a sudden. Im at 46,000km, by the way.

ahh the 9k sounds ... try resting your fingers on the clutch lever. does it go away? this apparently is common with our bikes. tho, ive never had that problem yet.

clutch doesnt do it, but im 95% sure it isnt the engine. It happened so suddenly (like after i parked it onw night, the next day) so i think its just something somwhere is loose.

I've had that problem (the clutch buzz) at first, but now it's my keyhole that's buzzing.. VERY annoying.. I should install an exhaust to hide the sound lol

there are a couple of threads about this. I spoke to a kawi mech and he told me that it was an audible shift indicator. It is a buzz that comes on @9k and goes away at about 10k. I can't hear it anymore b/c of my muzzy exhaust.
