Hi Everyone
I've just bought a lovely 2002 ST1100Y, a red one and she's lovely, looks like she's just come out of the Factory. However there is this strange whining noise like a servo pump or something. I thought it was the fuel pump in the tank but the noise isn't coming from the tank, it seems to be coming from under the Turtle at the back - roughly where your stomach flops on to if you've got a Beer Belly. It even does it when the ignition is off!?
Click on the Picture and you'll see where the noise is coming from.
It doesn't seem to do it when the bike is cold first thing in morning but when she's warm it starts doing it and it sounds exactly like a 12v motor or similar. The Bikes performance and running are not affected.
Thanks
Daz
PS I forgot to add that none of my other Pans have done this.
