Sand Rock, AL United States | started making a whistling sound today as it primed up. it's an 08 with 40,500 on it. Is this something to be concerned about? it started and ran fine all day. |

| maybe your gas cap is not tight or the gasket is bad.
If it was the pump whistling you would have a air leak and bike wouldn't run right.
So look at the cap |

| The gas cap being on, off or not tieght would have no effect. the tank is vented and does not build up pressure. |

| When???? How bout in front of a semi while merging? Or pulling thru a tight turn? Dangerous. It will fail, don't wait for it too. Just my humble. |

Buford, GA United States | Mine started doing it a couple of months ago. I had the dealer look and listen to it but as long as it is working the warranty will not cover it. My O8 warranty expired on December 7 so I am out of luck if it totally fails. Mine has almost 61,000 miles on it |
