Fuel Pump Squealing When Starting Up
Hi guys, I'm noticing my fuel pump sometimes squeals, (yes, squeals!) when I start the bike but will quiet down after about a minute of running. I can sometimes it will stop briefly by tipping the bike from side to side whilst it's squealing.
It has never given me any problems with the running of the engine, and it has never stopped whilst riding or anything (at least not yet!)
The bike has 20,000 miles on it, I've never run the tank dry or anything but I suppose previous owner could have.
To my memory it only happens when I have a full or near full tank - I filled up today, no squealing when I started the bike on the forecourt, rode home, parked the bike, started it up about 15 mins later and the pump is squealing.
Has anyone else experienced this? Could it just be trapped air running through the pump or something? I've never experienced this before.
Cheers
