Author Message   Nobuell Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - 12:54 pm:        My brother just purchased a used 08 1125R. He lives out of state so I was not able to inspect the bike before he purchased it. My 1125R make a wirrling sound when you first turn on the key prior to starting. I assume that to be the fuel pump cycling on. He said that his bike makes the same sound for a minuet after he shuts it down. I do not recall my bike doing that. Does anybody have nay ideas? Is there an older ECM flash that would allow the sound? Thank you for your help.   D_adams Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - 01:00 pm:        It's just keeping the fuel line pressurized, nothing wrong with it.   Crowley Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - 01:28 pm:        Perfectly normal. If it doesn't make those noises, then worry   Nobuell Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - 01:38 pm:        Sounds good Thanks for your help.   Zac4mac Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - 11:39 pm:        ECM logic keeps the fuel rail at operational pressure for 10 minutes after shutdown. Originally the ECM kept the pressure up for 20 minutes - It was killing batteries, so Buell made a new ECM map to drop to 10 minutes.

(Notice the extra "o" and missing "l" :-) ) (Message edited by noobuel on April 24, 2013)   Chessm Posted on Wednesday, April 24, 2013 - 02:11 am:        i always say it's the FTL drives spooling down   Nobuell Posted on Wednesday, April 24, 2013 - 11:16 am:        Zac4mac Thank you for the technical explanation.   Nobuell Posted on Wednesday, April 24, 2013 - 11:18 am:        I never really paid attention to it on my 1125R. I guess I am just used to the fans running on my XT.   Nbenson45 Posted on Wednesday, April 24, 2013 - 01:00 pm:        Mine cycles multiple times after I shut her down. I think with the boiling fuel and a recently discovered clogged cali can it had to work harder to keep the pressure correct. I'm glad you posted because I was going to ask the same question.   Crowley Posted on Wednesday, April 24, 2013 - 01:09 pm:        I thought it was the shielding for the Di Lithium crystals being lowered over the core   Nobuell Posted on Wednesday, April 24, 2013 - 04:17 pm:        Does anybody have a digital copy of a 2008 1125R owners manual they can send me?   Chameleon Posted on Sunday, April 28, 2013 - 02:48 am:        quote: Nobuell: Does anybody have a digital copy of a 2008 1125R owners manual they can send me? http://bit.ly/Z8rTTP 2008 Buell 1125R Owner's Manual (Message edited by chameleon on April 28, 2013)   Nobuell Posted on Sunday, April 28, 2013 - 07:30 am:        Chaneleon Thank you.
