I've got a zx-9r with 12K miles on it. When riding it I noticed the
other day there's a howling noise coming from the bike when the rpm's
drop (engine braking) and the across the 4500 to 3500 rpm range...no
noise above it, no noise below it.
It didn't do this before.. any idea ?

Where's the noise coming from? Wheels? Engine? Chain? Does it happen if
you're sitting still and just rev the engine, or is it only when you're
rolling? When it happens, does the noise go away if you pull the clutch in
and roll off the gas?

Did you check for tiny wolves in the engine casing?

Comes from engine I think. Have not tried it sitting still, will do it
and let you know.

Stuck pollution valves on top of the valve cover??

Just a stupid guess.
