Whistling fuel tank!

[rf9rider]

After my first ride today, got back home in the garage, up on the centrestand, then a few minutes later, the tank is whistling and whining!
Not so bad on the sidestand.
Seems the tank is pressurised, undo the gas cap and a sudden whoosh of air..............
I`ve checked the breather vent, thats not blocked, so any ideas Chaps?

mine used to so that jus parked up in the garage. i spent hours lookin but could never find the reason. i put it down to the bike cryin cos it had been put away in a cold dark garage and not out on the open road eatin miles :lol:

My -98 is the same. The wistling comes on when the temperature changes, eg. when the sun comes out of a cloud and shines on the gas tank. Guess its the went?

My Trident used to do it too.  I seem to remember something about a breather valve ... :roll:

the whistle means the vent in the gas cap is working ...........it's when you don't hear it whistle anymore you have troubles
