I didn't get pissed, it won't solve anything. I figure if I was nice about it, the service department will do their best to resolve it. (Hopefully).

Honestly, as long as I feel I'm being treated fairly, I don't get upset. I didn't want to leave my bike for another week. My wife and I are planning to go on a fathers day rally with it this Sunday. It's called the Kelsey Charity Run. I just hope it doesn't leave us stranded. (That would suck). But as far as rentals, my dealer doesn't offer one. I wouldn't think it's necessary. I just want my bike fixed. If I really needed to ride, I still have my sportbike. The problem is, my once young body cannot ride in that position for very long.

Update. I called the dealer today and told them that my Breakout fuel pump while priming is just as loud as before. The manager told me there is new HD Fat Boy that is making the same noise as my Breakout. He said it was doing the same thing as mine. So at least I know it's not just me. I hope to get this resolved. So I'm curious as to what could be causing that terrible grinding noise in my Breakout's fuel tank.

You have more patience than me. Seems the dealer has had the bike more than you! For this to go one for over a month is ridiculous. Good luck.

Mine makes the same noise after it's been sitting for a while. After it does it the first time, it's good to go until it sits for a while again.
For giggles, I just went out to the garage and tested it. Sure enough ... the first "pressurizing" it sounded just like yours, then the next five times, it was just the quiet whistle.
Never thought about it being a problem until you raised it here.
