High pitched tone coming from spyder?

[Border Rider]

I have a 2011 Spyder RTSE5 and after a 240 mi ride yesterday and put it away I heard a high pitched tone coming from the :spyder2:.
Today I noticed the tone again. I unplugged all of my accessories and still had the noise. Started it and shut it off, still had the noise.
After opening and closing the frunk a few seconds later I heard a light clik and the noise stopped. Any ideas?

This is normal; anytime key is turned on then off. Was a problem with earlier models of hot restarting and this is a solinod that holds the throttle body butterfly valve/flap in the open position for ~45 minute post shut down. Try not to let it annoy you too much :thumbup:

Happens All the time with the RT computer- Its so High Pitched its sort of like a Hearing test- If that's the one its no problem and goes away a few minutes after shut-off.

Thanks for the info

It has probably been doing all along, like any annoying sound only heard by the wife or the dog.:bowdown:

It's normal.

Yup... The 2010 RTs had some issues with hot-starting, and this is what BRP did to the bikes as a fix... :thumbup:
