    Hi All,
    A few days ago i bought 2007 XB12SS. Generally everything is ok but before ignition i hear noise which not ending. I saw a lot videos on youtube with XB12 ignition and fuel pump noise is short (about 2-3 seconds). In my moto this noise is not ending and after ignition i still hear quiet squeal. Please look at video below.

    How many miles do you have on your machine?

    I read about similar symptoms on another forum and it turned out to be chafed wires for the fuel pump - inside the tank..

    Fuel pump should not sound like that, pull it and check the wires. Keep your fingers crossed that it's just a wire that is shorting because the insulation has been worn through. That's kinda like what mine sounded like when I had a problem with the wires inside the tank.
