04 ZX10 fuel tank seems to 'whistle' when switched off

HI all

on my first decent ridout on my recently acquired zx10r, there seems to be a recurring whistling sound coming from the fuel tank when the engine is off. it lasts around 3-5 seconds, doesnt get louder, is constant. it sounds like air escaping from somewhere?

does anyone know what this is please?

thank you

It's the gas tank venting. Totally normal.

yea it should be just the tank venting, but if its really loud it could need a new seal around the inside of the gas cap

Yea, what they said. When it happens, a quick open and closing of the gas tank would do the trick. But it's nothing to worry about.
