Can this be resolved? I have an 01 900ssie...emissions equip removed, crankcase filter element installed. When I shut down the motor, 97% of the time I hear a 'whine' sound when the engine is shut down. I have taken the filter element off and the sound continues upon shutdown. I know it's air escaping from the crankcase. I'm guessing it's some type of harmonic sound that's developed from the plastic neck out of the crankcase.

I'm just getting tired of hearing the dead chicken sound.

Maybe it's air passing through the reed valve in your crankcase breather.....?

Or...... maybe there's a chicken stuck in your fairing.

Or maybe you have the experimental turbine model that wasn't supposed to be released from the factory...

Or maybe it's the fuel tank equalizing pressure

I get the same thing from my 748. It freaked me out in the beginning, but with no signs of a problem I just live with it.

For thr record, I removed my crankcase breather and put the K&N unit on, so I guess that's not it since it still does it.

And I have checked for chickens in the fairing, but I haven't found any ....... yet.

Jason, I can't tell if your post is saying that you actually know that's what it is, or you are making a educated guess?

I had the same noise situation on the 748, like section 8 mentioned, its the pressure from the gas tank, when you hear the whine open your gas cap.

Well, a bit more than a regular guess

It is air escaping from the reed valve.
