Not to rehash an older article, but I had this happen after a tire  
change.  During one of the Lake George rallys, anytime I got above  
60MPH the bike would have this high-pitched whine.

Took some pics of the sprokets and someone here (I think it was Ralph)  
mantioned that there was more wear on the inside of the sprocket.

Long story short, the rear wheel was reinstalled slightly crooked to  
the longitudinal axis of the bike and the stress was causing the chain  
whine.

Got the rear tire straightened out and never heard the noise since.
