my new spyder rt singing?

[Dig.It]

I pick up my new spyder today in cleveland oh. put about 100 miles on it and parked it in the garage and begain to polish it. i hear a high pitch low volume noise and think its coming from somewere else in the garage.but about 3 hours later i started to walk around to pinpoint the sound and it was coming from under the front of the spyder? normal?

This humming noise after engine shutoff is normal but should not be doing it for thre hours. I think it is supposed to be 40 minutes.

It is the throttle body being held closed to prevent issues with hot restarts. an issue experienced on the 2010 RT, this is the fix.

The noise is normal, But 3 hours?

3 hours, im worried but its starting fine and running fine?

[CyncySpyder]

The maximum time you should here this should be roughly 45 minutes, but there have been many updates & software changes, so maybe it could have been extended I know on Teds Red Sled, Ive never heard it "sing" longer than 45 minutes

i am going to keep rideing until my 600 mi. dealer appt. and let them know whats happening. thanks for input.

Man if its making a noise 3 hours in something electrical is running and drawing down your battery . Any trouble starting the in the mornings ?

[Bob Denman]

I'd think it best ot give the dealer a call; three hours seems a bit on the long side for the choir to be singing...

If you didn't touch the key in that three hours you have a problem, it should only last 40 min. If you turned the key on at all it will start the process again.

Me Too. It sounds like a 12 hundred Hz tone. As you have experienced, the tone varies in time. (At first, I crawled all over the machine attempting to isolate the source. I couldn't) And it doesn't matter if I take a short or long ride. From what I hear from the folks on the forums 'it is a not to worry issue'

HZ, Short for Hertz, It's the frequency of electric vibes . [1 cycle per second]

i was putting the key in for multible reasons while i was cleaning and admiring my new spyder. The last 2 rides noise only lasted 40 or so mins. This site is perfect. Thanks Lamonster

Well if you weren't out there admiring it we'd be worried!
Glad to hear that it was normal "Spyder Worship" causing all of the fuss!
