Sold the Tiger-Finally took delivery of 03 KLR.Should've never left
KLRville.But anyway the 03 developed a whistle at about 1500 miles or
so that seems to originate from the water pump area.Only happens when
engine hot at shutdown.So in other words when I turn the key off and
as the engine spins it's last revolution -a whistle sound occurs,not
very alarming but disturbing.Mechanical w/pump seal ??Any ideas ?

I'd be more inclined to think it's a lose engine mount or body work
that is rattling/rubbing.

It is the pressure escaping from the fuel tank. Next time open the tank and
see if it stops. TC

It looked just like that..

Happen to stumble onto one on ebay for less than the Dual-Star one,
so got another KHI part, set of Gel-grips and another useless plastic
shovel (skid pan) fairly cheap, did have to take the bushing from my
broken one and install it in the used one, is was pretty loose, but
that only took a few minutes. Sockets and a vise made a nice press.
