Electric Motor/Buzzing Sound on 2016 V4 1100 RR

Hi folks. Got my first Tuono after considering one for years, and love it....2016 V4 1100. Great sound, power delivery, suspension, handling, etc...and feels very manageable at low speeds around town.

One question to ease my mind or help me determine if I am losing my mind. When the bike is turned off, even after it has sat for a while and is stone cold, I sometimes hear this light buzzing sound coming from just underneath the tank, roughly middle of the bike. Sounds like a very small electric motor that just briefly turns on (for 2 seconds in duration or so). I timed it once and at least that time it was doing this every 3 to 3.5 minutes.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? Is anyone else hearing this? Anyone know what it is? One guy on YouTube said he hears it on his 2014 V4 1000 Tuono.

Thanks for any input.

Welcome to Tuono ownership. I think Tuono is an acronym for To Upset Originally Nice Owner!
 
I've had my 1100RR for 3 weeks now and have not noticed any noise...now that you mention it, I'll listen out for it.
 
Funny, I actually listened today and heard a high pitch noise...looked around a bit and popped the fuel cap...sorted it out.
 
youll need a to use a compressor, youll have some crap down there, get it cleaned or your tank may implode!
 
Seriously that resolved the issue? Any idea what the noise was all about? Not sure we're talking about the same noise. Thanks for the reply either way.
