On my er6n sometimes when I am working in the garage I notice a hissing sound coming from the bike almost high pitched. I pop the gas tank and it releases the pressure and it stops.

Does anyone else ever encounter this? and would this be considered normal.

This is completely normal, it's just the tank venting excess pressure and it comes out with a hissing sound. It'll happen a ton, and louder, in the summer when it gets much hotter.

(Also, the search forum button does wonders ;) )

ill be the only different one and say its a gohst! lol jk. it is normal, and i believe there is a fix entailing drilling it out to make it quieter. there is a how to on here somewhere!?! i still dont know if i would do that though. they made it that way from the factory for a reason.
