The gearbox on my 95 1100 Sport has always been a whiner under power, disappears on the overrun; doesn't seem to have any issues (apart from being a bit agricultural) so I assume this is just normal. Any similar experience? I'm thinking I might just chuck some Molyslip or similar in the box and see if it gets any quieter......

Its the nature of the gearbox, they do whine a lot.  Mine has a Cali box so doesn't do it.

Although if it gets really intense, it could be a driveshaft spline, they are known to fail.

There are no cush rubbers on the 1100 wheel, so it batters the driveshaft more than later models / other Guzzis.
A tappy Guzzi is a happy Guzzi!
