Fuel Pump whine

[Skimblet]

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 not

TIA

Is it an after-market fuel pump? I know some after market ones do whine.

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

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

I'm all good then as bike starts and moves ok

another sound to stick in the "that's normal, stop being precious" collection

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.
