Shut down whistle?
This TC88 will give a little whistle sound when the engine stops from a shut-off. Has anyone experienced this with their bike? It has always done this since new from the showroom floor. The mufflers were replaced but the whistle stayed. I think it is a D, or F.
Is my bike trying to tell me something?
Please, someone help me, I'm afraid....

I've got a 01 tc88 (not B) with efi, and I've never heard a whistle. Your bike just may like the way you look in those lacy underwear you said you wear to keep the nads warm.

Joe, you got me! I had my neck way out on that one. Here I go trying to be serious....Serious? What the heck for?
(I haven't ridden in my skivvies yet and that's a thought I have never had before) - Joe, you're a bad infuence with thoughts like that, but if the weather were warmer....

The bike DOES whistle on shutdown. Doesn't seem to bother anything, just like to know why.......

I'll try again....
I'm so freekin tired of my anti-virus software taking charge of my computer with their pop-ups to upgrade right in the middle of what the **** I was doing! Anti-virus software people are the menace, they develop their own anti to sell. So what do they do on their day off? Make viruses?
My response was (as near as I can remember)...
Hell, I forgot....

I don't hear it on mine. It may just be an angle on a baffle. I wouldn't worry about it.
