Whistling noise 800XRx

[Blind Jim]

Unable to listen to engine sound as I have this persistent whistling noise as soon as the bike is going. Any idea(s)?
Bothersome to say the list how can you enjoy a ride if you cannot listen to the engine (purring)

I don't have a clue since I've never experienced the whistling.

Sounds like a small exhaust leak at the header. I could be wrong, however.

Maybe check for intake air for leaks as well. May have to remove tank to check air filter inlet plumbing. Any leaks after would affect performance and probable would not run right.
