Skimblet Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 is it normal to hear a whine from the fuel pump?when I'm pootling along I can hear mine, when I let off the gas it stops (as you would expect) but was just wondering if it was normal or notTIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westbeef Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Is it an after-market fuel pump? I know some after market ones do whine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 They all whine knowing the difference between normal and excessive is not something that can be diagnosed over the internet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skimblet Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 They all whine knowing the difference between normal and excessive is not something that can be diagnosed over the internet Its been like it since I got it, its not overly loud, I just wondered if they all do it. I'm still getting accustomed to all the sounds the bike likes to make depending on speed, temperature etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Mine whines constantly if you stick you ear on the tank you will hear it Although some model years of the YBR had issues with fuel pump but this is related to the bike stopping! and don't start by been noisy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrissb6 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 They all whine knowing the difference between normal and excessive is not something that can be diagnosed over the internet Always good to make notes in your head of the different sounds that come from the bike, as a plant mechanic l always walk round with ears and eyes open monitoring the plant whilst in full flight, any squeaks groan's or other are never over looked or ignored. A 5 min check over with a grease gun or a tighten up with a spanner here or there could save you from untold drama and expense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
