08 ninja 250r high pitched sound?

[resage]

i wanted to try just popping the wheel up a little bit managed to get like 3inches lol this is on an 08 ninja 250r... what im not sure of is as i was doing it the bike made a high pitched RING tone as it came up a little or was right after i slipped the clutch, so i tried again and it made same sound again.

Any one know what causes the sound? i am not sure thanks.

depressing horn button??

Could be the horn. When I turned my throttle to the stop on my Ninja 500 sometimes the horn would beep. It would also beep sometimes when I was turning with pretty steep lean angles (for the 500).

its not making a horn like sound if anything if you have played like vegas 2 or something lol it sounds like the flashbang sound but not as HIGH pitched.

Could it be the gas tank whistle?
Some people in the 250 forum were saying it could happen during a ride.

Beat me to it!

Yeah, I hear this usually after I fill my bike up.

Why does it do that?

Heat causes gas to expand and I guess the vents on the tank are too small or something, making the whistle.

thanks guys i kinda figured it had something to do with the gas and what not but was never completely sure.... is it bad or anything?

[Anthonyd5189]

I would guess not since you're not the only one who has this happen.

sounds like the original question was covered. hope you like spending money on bikes.

So is this considered a defect on the new Ninja 250s? Or is this due to just pushing the bike beyond its limits?
