Does anyone know why my CR beeps, and whirrs after it is shut off? This goes on for about 5 minutes, and in not constant but happens about once every 10 to 15 seconds | ||

fuell pump cycling. Mine and chad's 1125s were making those sounds after a session at the last track day. It sounded like they were having a conversation. | ||

Mine started that when I got the latest flash last week. Prior to that, I had w/e flash came on it when I picked it up in Sept-Oct '08. (Message edited by orman1649 on December 04, 2009) | ||

I figured it was the fuel pump, but, and I hate to sound like a child here, why does it do it, and is it normal? | ||
| Tq_freak |
Yea its normal and it does it to equalize the pressure in the fuel rail to reduce hard hot starts or plug fowling. | ||

Tq - And just why does it do this...? As soon as one turns the ignition key to the on position......hold on.....wait for it.....the fuel pump...pressures up the system...........! So now...why does the pump need to be on when the system is...OFF..? IF...this is true, it's a waste of the system. But if not...another freaking myth Mike | ||

To prevent vapor lock in the fuel system? | ||

mine did not start that stuff until I got the new flash last week either. Must be something new | ||

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_lock I am not going to pretend to know if that is why the pumps are programmed to do it, but if it works I got no complaints. | ||

I'm sure it's completely unnecessary for the fuel pump to cycle. The engineers think it's funny to make it do that. | ||
| Tq_freak |
I don't think its as much to keep pressure on the system but to make sure they system doesn't over pressurize. Once the motor is off and the fuel can heat soak it will expand. Cycling the pump lets the pressure extra pressure off. I think this is why it will only do it for 10 min, by then its cool enough to not worry about. | ||

mine stopped all that nonsense with the new flash | ||

my dealer told me it was to help cool the system down??? | ||

When Barker and I were at the track, his bike was talking like R2-D2 and my bike was CR2-D2.  | ||

"Can you believe I have to roll around with that giant galoot on my back." "I know and I thought the one on me was going to put it in the ditch every other lap. What the hell is wrong with these people?" "I don't know, but I swear I'm going to pee a puddle of gas on their feet." "I'm thinking about spitting him off the next tight turn. My cousin the XB9R did it, and it was hilarious!" | ||

I wonder if it has something to do with preventing the fuel in the lines from boiling. The fuel gets warmer in the tank once the bike is stopped, that is what causes the dripping. Maybe they keep the pressure up to increase the boiling point till the bike cools down. Never mind, Froggy already covered it. (Message edited by VtwinBuell on December 04, 2009) | ||

You could always use Harley's newest flash for the Chromecow uber sled:  |
