Default fuel pump issue

on my 06 FI nightrain, when i have the ignition on, and flip the switch to run, i can hear the fuel pump running(normal). but if flip the switch back to off, i can hear what i would say is the fuel pump sort of sputtering down. ive owned the bike a year and a half and only recently noticed this. Any ideas?

Absolutely.

The system needs to be pressurized for use and will bleed down when off.

If you turn the bike on, pressurize the system, turn it off and right back on, the pressure is still up and the pump remains off.

sounds like a trip to the dealer. Should be warranty if under 2 years.
