After a ride of about 150 miles, I pulled into my garage and after I shut the bike off I heard a high pitched whine. It was almost inaudible but when I put my ear down by the side cover by the battery, it was definitely coming from that area.

A little background: About a month ago I left the key on and found the battery dead about a week later. I recharged it using a borrowed trickle charger set on 6 volts for about 4 days then 12 volts for about 48 hours. There was no change in the dead battery on the 6 volts. The bike ran flawlessly after that.

Did I screw something up here?

I used to get a highpitched whine from the back seat area on my (Dark Side) other bike when the wife and I would get back from a long ride (anything in excess of about 100 miles).

Since I bought my Goldwing the high pitch whine from the back seat area of the bike is gone.

Sorry that I couldnt be more help!

I have a KLR650 that gets a high-pitched whine after a ride sometimes. It's the fuel tank venting. Remove the gas cap and it quits. I have no idea if this ever happens to Wings but it's an easy thing to check.

That was going to be my guess. Something to do with the fuel tank vent or the fuel pump itself.

Negative pressure in the fuel tank would cause that

Next time I hear it I will try the gas cap.

Thanks for the reply. You guys are great.

I used to get a high pitched whine after taking a long ride with my ex-wife, but since I ditched her, the whine hasn't been heard.

I think that lawyer got your number by mistake instead of Hal's. Please refer him to the appropriate number: 1-88w-hoc-ares.
