High Pitch Noise in Tank
 
Does anyone else have a High pitch humming noise coming from the inside of their gas tank? Mine does that from time to time. Ive done some searching and couldnt find a def answer to the problem. Maybe the fuel line inside the tank rubbing against the tank? Anyone know? thanks

Yea i just thought it was the fuel pump.

yeah the fuel pump comes on for a few secs when i flick the switch, but this sound is totally different. Its a very high pitch hum.

maybe its early signs of your injector pump is going out?

Same sound here.... like a loose bolt that hit the tank under acceleration !

Fuel pump. It should buzz for a couple of seconds when the ignition is turned on, then shuts off. If you are running low on gas, it it possible that the pitch will be higher as the pump struggles and leans out.

no this noise is not the buzzing noise when the bike turns on. This is while it is running.

Here is a video of someone removing the pump from the tank. You might wanna pull it out an take a look at whats goin' on in there. Not sure if you will need to replace the gasket before you re-install her.

I had a whine / high pitched noise today coming home from work.

I am lower on fuel than I normally let her get, so maybe that's why I had such a whine today.
