I think my bike might be alive and have feelings and everything, several people have commented on it squeeling, so its not just in my head. The worst thing is, when it squeels it makes me want to give it a damn good clean as I feel sorry for it Sad Ive missed 2 bike meets this week due to it squeeling as im getting it out the garage and ended up soaping it up and giving it a damn good clean, massage, and a good old stroke.

Now I realise that my bike is special but what could be making it squeel? Is it lack of love? I find that hard to believe, or maybe its just an attention seeker? Confused

On a more serious note, I think there is an air leak somewhere in the fueling system as its a bitch to start when it hasn't been ridden for a few hours... Should I just check the fuel hose and the tank air intake hose? I do quite like it squeeling tho.... its kind of cute.

Vapour coming out of the tank breather hole as the fuel expands in the heat?

No. That was my suggestion for what I think was happening. Laughing

Squeel is a spelling mistake. He means Squeal: a high pitched noise... like a pig would make.
