    Just finishing fixing the bike ......... again but it is now singing to me.

    Yes you read that correctly. It is definately coming from the fuel tank filler. I suspect it is due to the pressure build up in the tank. Is this going to be an issue for me or should I crack on and make a recording for Simon Cowell and live off of my new fame.
    When it's your time to go it's your time, so don't let it catch you.

    Tis the sudden warm weather I reckon. Might try checking the tank breather is clear.
    Not a problem unless you try lighting up a smoke.

    It stopped after a few minutes but it was cool. If you push down on the filler cap it makes it a higher pitch, etc. Good fun

    check the breather hole in the cap is clear, may be very small or vent through key slot so give it a good going over

    My zx does it when the fuel is low. It's a good indication that I need to start looking for a garage before the light comes on.
