I think I'm hearing things.

  1. Righto,
    Rolled the old girl out of the garage today, started her up just cos I could (998s). Petrol light was on so rode to the garage (half a mile or so). Wasn't wearing ear plugs and could hear what I can only describe as a 'whooping' noise from the front of the bike. I had heard this when I started her up, but thought it was something to do with the low fuel.

    Anyway, coming from petrol station noise seemed to get a little louder, like air being sucked in or something.

    Am I insane?
     
  2. so many things possible but from description I would check the fuel tanker breather for a start
     
  3. I shall take a look, cheers.

    To think, I almost decided to sell the old girl, shame on me. She was beautiful in the sunshine. May I hang my head in shame.
     
  4. Fuel tank/airbox rubber split, perished, tank incorrectly located possibly - known issue
