2014 ER-6F weird noise when ignition off.

Does anybody know what this noise is and why it's doing it?

Sounds like the tank venting,will be worse on hot days

Makes sense as the sun was out. Cheers

The fuel tank 'whistles' frequently especially when I've come back from a run and the engine heat rises around the tank. Not peculiar to ER6's I'm told several Kawasaki models do it.

It does seem to be a Kwak trait, my GPZ500 whistled like a kettle.

It's louder than the horn on these bikes is.
It's kind of a Thomas the tank engine sound.

But mine has never done it as far as I know.

Defo tank pressure venting. I usually just open the petrol tank cap and let the gas evacuate.

My KLE500 used to do this, confused me at first too only bike I've had that does it so loudly
