Get used to hearing some sounds on this bike:
1. The sound mentioned by you above-it is the fuel pump.
2. A whining sort of sound when parked in sun/some other random times-that is also from the fuel pump.
No need to worry about these 2.
3. Scratching sound from underneath-that is the chain which needs some attention in the form of lubing.
4. A faint humming sound-it is the radiator fan when engine is overheated. If occuring too often, check coolant level.
5. Ticking noise after engine is shut off-catalytic coverter trying to cool silencer. Again no need to worry about it.
