Fuel Pump Whine
 
Wow, so I get one thing done and then something else gives me grief.

So, I put my AF-Xied on yesterday morning. In order to do that I had to take the fairing off and also move the gas tank toward the back or the bike to get at the connection.

When I moved it I was being careful of the hoses.

So I get it all back together and started hearing a whine. It's coming from the gas tank.

This morning I pulled it all back apart thinking maybe I crimped a hose or something. I think the fuel line on the left side was a bit crimped from the air box tube.

Anyway, that was the only think I saw that seemed to be an issue. Figured maybe it fixed it and I did check before putting it all back together and it seemed quieter.

But once back together, the whine is there again.

Not sure what to do.. Like.. it wasn't doing that before I added the AF-Xied so did I mess something up??

Any help is appreciated. :-)

Are you pretty sure the fuel pump noise just started? Mine is pretty loud.

Yeah, I am 100% sure. ha ha

Probably the anti-vibration strap came loose inside the tank that holds the pump solid.

Great... ha ha. I assume that means pulling the tank and everything apart?

Here is the fuel pump assembly. There is the one plastic piece that holds the pump in place. You can study and try to determine what might be vibrating.
(This was my old one I replaced, hence the torn parts)
