Odd whistling noise after parking
« on: August 04, 2014, 04:53:33 PM »
OK tried to search this and system pulled up nothing. I have noticed a whistling sound after riding and parking bike in garage. It is very slight noise like air being released through a small opening. Similar to stretching or pinching the neck of a balloon as it releases air. Can't remember hearing it before but had valves done recently, could a air hose be pinched or is this a typical cool down noise others experience. Again very slight hard to hear but audible in a quiet environment.

  • It's only really cold if you fall down in it.

The fuel tank venting. The noise is coming from the cap, where the vent is.

Perfectly normal and nothing to worry about.

I get the same thing, vapor pressure bleeding out of fuel tank.  Push on the fuel cap it will change or open the cap and hear a whoosh.

Cool thanks, never thought much of it then I got that quick upper left red light flash and the FI or F1 pop up on screen then it was gone just as quick so wanted to reassure myself that I didn't have a pinched line somewhere causing a problem.

I've got a pinched nerve or two, but no pinched lines.

Had to pinch a loaf this morning, but I didn't hear a whistle, only a wooooosh...
