'mysterious whining'(an' this is comin' from a pom!)

[sioux zookeeper]

'Hi Everybody!' just a quickie again(ya know what us poms are like)but me has a'faint whing electrical sound' comin' from the back of the engine area mebbe,is mostly v.quiet(not the fuel pump whine,but of similar resonance)could hear it at standstill,no lights on,in neutral,but if me puts a brake on it changes in tone.
Anyroad up,happy gnu year to all

My first thought when I seen the title was "are you married" 

No idea on the real issue though.

Does it change in tone when you flick the headlight on & off? as it does when you put a brake on.  (Parked up & in neutral as in the earlier test)

Hiya what year is your bike as a few k5's had problems with the generator bolt coming lose so allowing it to spin on the shaft .
Other thing I can think to check is has your chain been replaced or adjusted recently as the sound of how the chain runs along the guard on the swingarm can change.

Other thing I've just thought of to check is the rear disc itself as mine developed small cracks at 50,000 miles ish

[sioux zookeeper]

yes Kiwicol it does.It's had a new battery in a few weeks ago,an' i did charge it uo last week,dint take long,then 3 times today it didn't start then did the,'the clock has reset to 1.00' like it's had to reboot itself as it were.Battery in now on charge,but as an aside of this,had a lotta not starting problems a coupla years ago,eventually traced it to a sprag clutch failure  oh poo'
cheers guys

[sioux zookeeper]

yeah cheers for t' ideas,butt it's definitely  'lectrical,comin' from t' battery, ecu( is that what it's called?)area.Have got a pretty old immobilser on it too.
right,time for telly,midnight munchies then me's off to me bed,night all

[seth]

Now you tell us you gave an after market imobiliser/alarm
That'll be your problem right there

[KiwiCol]

Yup, get that thing removed & I think your problem will disappear too.   

I was thinking of the genny nut too, hence the headlight question, more load on system.

[sioux zookeeper]

hi guys, will check the immobiliser thing out, it Has been on t' bike for 'bout 10 years now.We am on a '02 model,the best coloured one!

[KiwiCol]

Didn't know they made a Black K2.
