What's with the weird sound when I move the bike
I just got a 2009 Ninjette and I noticed that there's a sound that comes from the gas tank when I move it
The sound is hard to explain Is it normal ? addendum ---- sorry i wasn't clear it is when the motorcycle is off and cold. and reading the responses i think it can be a pressure release of some sort...thanks for the comments. i know i make noise when i release pressure :-)

Is it when you are riding the bike? as in it is turned on and running?
or when you "rock" the bike when it is off? |

Normal with the 250's. I believe it's just pressure from the gas tank but nothing to worry about.

Could it be this:

Yes very normal. Mostly happens when the weather gets hot.
