My gearbox is sooo noisy. It whines like and English mother in law.
1st, 2nd, but mainly 3rd and 4th. I Road another M8 only yesterday and it was definitely more quiet.  My dealer says' they're are all like that' in reference to my complaint. It's like an old truck.
Does anyone else have this experience?

Is yours one of the ones that is spitting the tranny oil into the primary?  Check the level.

When I rode my 17 cvo the first 500 miles, it  had a lot of gear whine. after that its quiet.

Yes my gearbox transfers oil and I don't hammer it. It hasn't  been belted on a dyno. Mind you ! The wife did back the Hilux over it! Lol.
