Re: [ST] fuel pump whine (was "after 7 months, a bunch of stuff")

["Eric Mann" <eric91z@xxxxxxxx>]

Last year when the bike was stored outside (got the bike in June), it would
not make the whinning noise when started.  The couple times it spent the
night in a garage and was riden first thing the next morning, then it would
make the noise.  Not sure what the corrolation is, but is was always
consistent that way.
