Strange fuel pump noise!

[MOTOCROSSER]

My 09 nightsters fuel pump made a real strange noise right after it hit the on / off switch prior to firing the motor up!!sounded similar to when a bearing is about gone !!a high pitched screach!!it`s only done it about three times since i`ve had it .bought it new in august 08.i took it to the dealer knowing it would`nt make the same noise when it`s there!aint that the way it always turns out !lol!but the service guy did say that they had another nightster that had made the same noise !but before my 2 year warranty is up ,i just let them know that there is a existing problem going on with the fuel pump!!any ideas of what it might be ??n has anyone else with a nightster experienced the same thing ??

no pump here moto, but I would just get it changed out under warranty....

Dealer won't replace it unless it makes the noise for them, as long as the pump is working.

Does it do it at all any more?

[MOTOCROSSER]

they said until it totaly craps out on me or it leaves me stranded that they were`nt going replace it! so i just said ok ,but when it does crap out after my warranty is up thier going to replace for nothing !!!they were cool with it !!so like i said,i tried like hell while my bike was there to get the bike to duplicate the noise but it would`nt do so !!!

[MOTOCROSSER]

I had funny feelins about the Pump on my Ultra, , ,straight up the dealer aint gonna GAF till it slap stops pumpin fuel,, if it helps?? pumps by nature make funny sounds sometimes due to cavitation and oher vortex issues associated with suckin and pressrizin fluids. {long story short,,, ride it till it dont go no more,,, then get on yur cell phone and raise hell}

I'm gettin more creative with commas every day my internet skills is improvin, , , , (side note)

Might have to record it with your phone or camera to make sure you have it documented right. Sounds like it needs to sit for a while before it makes the noise so it won't do it when you bring it to the dealer unless it sits there for a while.....

they said until it totaly craps out on me or it leaves me stranded that they were`nt going replace it! so i just said ok ,but when it does crap out after my warranty is up thier going to replace for nothing !!!they were cool with it !!so like i said,i tried like hell while my bike was there to get the bike to duplicate the noise but it would`nt do so !!!

Now I never said this.....:)

I hate dealers, they pull chit like that all the time, wont replace the part before it breaks 100%!!!
I'd get the wiring dia. for the bike, drain the tank and wire the pump to run dry until it locks up!!! Dry the tank out before burning out the pump and get the gas fumes out so you and bike don't go boom!

Then put the gas back in and take it back to the dealer!

Just what I would do!
