constant beep from tank (fuel pump?)

  pete look under your name it said you were a Sr. member so it means you are old.......

Ok, so what you're hearing is the electric fuel pump. My hearing is basically junk, so I can just hear mine whine when I power it on, but not after the engine is running. Don't worry, you won't be able to hear it when you get old.

Maybe a bearing in the fuel pump going?

I'm just glad there is someone younger than me here. And I ain't that young. Unless your 3 days older than dirt. Then I'm in my prime. Ha ha ha.

OK so in trying to make sure I was giving thorough and correct info I went out to the bike and did some poking around.  its not coming from the speedo its coming from the tank (fuel pump?) and their is no change when I rev the throttle it stays fairly consistant while stationary but is present.  it makes the same noise for about 2 seconds when I first turn the key, while I assume its priming the fuel lines

Does it happen with the bike stationary? What year is the bike?

[draconarmy]

im gonna say its electronic as it is steady and constant.  no change with speed except it may get louder as I first noticed it at about 70 but not shure  it could just be that its the right pitch to cut through the sound of wind.

[Troll]

Mechanical or electronic? pitch change with speed?

So I noticed this on Saturday (likely that its been going longer than that), thought it was just my ears ringing, but there seems to be a constant beep emanating from my speedo cluster.  is this something to worry about, and what could it be.  like I said it sound just like a ringing in your ear after a concert or a day at the range maybe, barely perceptible
