2011 Street Glide with 4K miles.

When starting, the fuel pump pressures right up, then stops like it should.

However, once the bike is running, I can hear a faint, constant, high-pitched whining sound, that I assume is the fuel pump.

Anyone else experience this sound? Is this normal?

Thanks

 

Does it only happen when you are riding 2-up ?....lol Actually between the pipes and my poor hearing I couldn't hear it if I wanted to, I'm sure some one here with good hearing will answer your question.

 

Nice.........

 

The feul pump should not continue the initial pressurization "whine".

 

Perhaps I should have been more clear.

Upon starting, the fuel pump pressurizes, then stops, just like it should. I'm familiar with this sound, this is not my complaint, or concern.

Once the bike is running, I can hear a different sound. A sound that is not the same as the fuel pump being pressurized. A sound that I vividly described above.

Thanks

 

It's your fuel pump. My 2011 SG was the same way. Annoyed the hell out of me. Told the dealer about it and they said Harley would only replace the fuel pump if it failed.

I know that my bike didn't start out with the whine, but got progressively worse the more miles I put on. At least with the OL on the back, the fuel pump whine was drowned out by hers.

 

Is your fuel pump still whining, or did you replace it?
Thanks

 

I have the exact same high-pitched whine. I just assumed it was the fuel pump and I anticipate it will need replaced at some point. It takes my attention away from all the chattering noises coming from my primary.

 

I got the same thing on my 11' Road Glide. Thats fine if Harley says let it die then we will replace it but what if im 250 miles away, I guess that parts the owners problem.

 

Turn the radio up. I had the same noise on my 09 FLHX.
