Quiet squeaking noise coming from gas tank?
I sometimes here a low-volume squeaking noise coming from the top of the gas tank. It sorta sounds like a small amount of air escaping from a compressed space. Is this a normal sound? It usually happens when I mount the bike. I am wondering if the gas sloshing around in the tank could be causing it?

lol (I'm sorry bro, can't help it)
It's normal...with a capital N. The ninjette's have this issue, some thing to do with the gas cap/gas dissipation....I'm sure someone will give you a more technical answer. Point is it's NORMAL and NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. p.s. I like to imagine that it's my 'jet's way of saying how much she loves me every time she whines |

Next time might I suggest doing a forum search instead of adding to the vast amount of threads on these type of questions.

My Ninjette always whines when I leave her. Always makes me turn around and tell her that it will be ok

All these post an no one lead him to the potential fix. I got at minimum a 80% reduction in noise with this mod.
