    I've experienced this twice now. I've noticed that it happens when I have put 140-150 miles on the current tank of gas. If I fill up the sound goes away. My conclusion is it's related to the fuel pump or tank pressurizing/venting.

    Like with a kid when it starts whining, feed it. In this case the food is gasoline. I talked to the service manager about this today and he checked for any service bulletins on this and there were none. One of the techs mentioned he gets this when his ATV is low on gas too.

    I guess it's the nature of the beast.

    This happened to me again yesterday—but same situation as the first time. Temps were about 90 and the gas was down to the last two bars. On the third trip of the day I stopped to fill up and no more humming. It doesn’t worry me—there have been a lot of noises come and go on my Ryker but it runs perfectly fine.

    Pretty normal I would say... F3s are doing it and the RS-S that I have its doing it.
    Don't know if it matters what gas level you have in the tank... last night I filled up late in the night and while I was in the driveway (was really quiet) I remember hearing the fans for a few seconds after shutting it off and then a low pitch, continuous whine, for a couple of minutes...

    - - - - -

    Just found this from an older thread (around 2012) here on the forums - copy pasting here:

    "When prepping 2011 Spyder RT models, you may
    notice a faint "humming" or "buzzing" noise coming
    from the area under the center glove box after the key
    is turned off. The humming will continue for 40 minutes
    each time the key is shut off unless interrupted by
    another start sequence or an MPI is connected. This is
    normal and they will all do it. What you hear is the
    Electric Throttle Actuator( ETC) holding the throttle
    plates fully closed until the engine cools down.
    This
    feature will allow a normal start up when the engine is
    completely heat soaked.
    "

    Is a feature of the fly-by-wire throttle.

    It seems to be related to temperature only. Filled up or low on fuel, I have heard the "whine". I don't think it's a venting issue as I have heard it after the Ryker has sat all day in the sun. The whine starts at the power up process before starting the engine, it stops when the fuel pressure has built up, then starts again when the engine is started.

    I have been hearing the same faint whine with mine; also starts at power up. However, Thursday night it did it again and was not faint, it was loud enough that at first I thought it was some type of alarm. All of my gauges and lights were normal so I finished driving it home. I could hear it up to about 40 mph. I dropped the unit off at my dealer yesterday; it was not as loud as Thursday night but clearly made the same sound. I will let them work it out. The important thing is that I now have an official record associated with that unit. They are going to replace my front tires to try to correct the wobble that no amount of balancing has been able to correct.

    I get it, it is a new model with some growing pains. I bought mine in January so it was one of the first units brought into the country.. Lucky me; a beta tester.

    Mine was the first one my dealer sold. I wanted the free extended B.E.S.T. warranty.

    Not sure what the noise is, guessing most of you are right (fuel pump) but I just filled up the gas tank and 10 minutes later heard the whine, had about 700 miles on it before I heard the sound for the first time, now its more and more often

    Its the fuel pump for sure. Mine started doing it after 1200 miles. It does it now when I ride for a long period of time (couple hours). I notice if I add fuel (cold gas) the noise goes away and then after some time (gas heats up) the noise comes back. So much be a heat issue. It can be very loud. Annoyingly so.

    Same exact issues with my Rally. Hope BRP will cover the cost of replacing the noisey pump. Terribly annoying.

    Anyone has an actual video clip of this noise? Will be helpful to other people to at least get an idea how it sounds and how loud it is.

    Other than an irritating sound, has anyone actually had a breakdown because of a fuel pump problem?

    Inquiring minds need to know.

    No performance problems that I have noticed but sure doesn't sound pleasant.

    Going Saturday to dealer let you know what I find out.

    Other than this intermittent annoying noise, the wheels needing an alignment and learning to accept nuances of the clunky drivetrain, I think the engineering is pretty well executed. Gas mileage is right around the 30 mark but I accelerate hard almost every chance I get (fun factor). Rotax engine at 6K sure sounds sweet. Maybe I will get a F3 Limited someday, but for now this little beast is too much fun.
