Do you see dead people?
Where is it coming from?

Sounds like the very common whispering / hissing sound that comes from the tank on a hot day when it is venting.

That whispering sound is Kelly telling you to shim your needles.

Ok we are all just being funny. tin there is a thread somewhere showing how to alter your cap. But most of us like the noise and let it alone. search " gas tank hissing " etc... Gas cap Mod....

is it saying "get out..." or something similar?
go do a few wheelies in a church and see if that fixes it. if the bike starts spazzing out and doing all sorts of crazy **** (lights flickering, engine revving on its own, blood coming out the exhaust) you've isolated the problem. |

Wow. Just found this thread. My Ninjette started doing this for the first time in the hours after I accidentally rode her into a ditch I thought she was crying!
That day also happened to be one of the warmest days I had ridden her, so maybe the ditch was unrelated and it was just the heat cause the air to be compressed in the tank. Anyway: I guess I now know that my bike isn't sentient. |

My all-time favorite thread about that noise is this one.

I had that problem before, simply because I put too much oil. Check your oil level and make sure it doesn't go above the line, it has to be slightly below..
