Kinda hard to tell what is wrong. but service the rearend and see if there is any broken pices in the axle. It probably just needs some fluid. but a full service couldent hurt

Mine does that too... not a big deal really if you only hear the whine when you let OFF the gas and not when you are ON the gas.

My richmonds have always whined too. I was told most just do that. It isn't too bad, you get used to it.

While it is true that some sets of Richmond Gears whine, it is only the pro gear sets that are supposed to, or at least that's what someone at Richmond told me. The cause is most likely a setup that is a little off. The gear lash is most likely a bit off, the louder the whine the more the lash. If this has been going on for a while you will almost definitely need new gears not merely a new setup. This lash also will decrease gear life and likewise you will go through gears quicker.
