   the hissing sound could be were your carb is sucking in air thats not being filtered through the air filter cus this happend to myn were i did not connect the pipe to the carb properly n the air was getting sucked into the carb though the gap that was left were the pipe meets the carb. and you can only hear the hiss wen u change gear since u are not accelerating?????????????????????????????? just a suggestion n bit of a coincidence cus myn was more noticeable changing into 2nd cus 1st is were ur using most air n fuel
