did you change the jackshaft bearing behind the secondary and put the bolts in backwards. i did it made the same noise, check for scrapes on the backside of the secondary.

Just chain case whine. Totally normal if not use to it. Freaked me out too first time.

is it is the same whine your sled makes when you brake? If so loosen chain tension.

thats because your vmax uses a differnt chain,non hyvo, the newer sleds from around 2000 use the hyvo chain and it does "whine".
