I'm hoping someone can help me with this. After the initial priming of my ignition, and riding around for awhile, it sounds like my fuel pump is squealing loudly. I can hear it over my exhaust and everything around me. I don't know for sure if it's my fuel pump, but that is the only thing that I can think it would be to make that noise. Is this normal or is there an issue that needs resolving?

 

Does it squeal like a stuck pig?

 

Squealing like a vacuum leak? Or a mechanical squeal? Possibly an electronic squeal? How much fuel is in the tank? When was the last time you changed the fuel filter, of checked the quality of fuel? Have you noticed any other issues?

 

Its like a mechanical squeal. No other issues. I only put in shell or chevron. I thought it had something to do with the amount of fuel but full half or empty, it doesnt change. I havent checked the fuel filter, as it is a brand new bike, but I'll check that this afternoon. I've been thinking of taking it to the stealership to have them look at it, but if its something I can diagnose and fix myself I would much rather do that. It kind of sounds like when you prime the bike but more high pitched.

 

I would take it to the dealer. Have you checked all your fluids?

 

Take it to the Stealership. Maybe they'll fix it under warranty for free. Another rip off.

 

If it's a 2019 it's still under warranty and would be taken care of by the dealer in no time FOR FREE.

 

I agree, a new bike should have come with some kind of a warranty so take it back to the dealership and have them take a look at it.

 

Alright. Thanks guys. Hopefully they know whats going on. Just want my bike to be ok

 

High pitch squeal sounds are often the result of a bearing going bad. Probably something minor, but best take it in.
