Hi Ninja 300 team,

I have a versys-X 300, which uses the same engine as the Ninja 300, so I thought I’d ask here if anyone had experienced a similar issue or heard of such.

I have over 4000 miles on my x300, it spends a lot of time at 9000rpm on my commute to work.

It has a fairly random odd noise on startup sometimes. Only happens when the engine is cold.

It sounds like belt squeal on a car, it’s very brief, for like a second or two, just as the engine catches. It only happens very randomly. First time it happened it worried me, but bike has run a couple of thousand miles since then without any issues or any noticeable change in the engine performance or anything else.

Anyone come across something similar or have experience if this noise on a Ninja or X300 etc ?

Thanks
