I turned off the beast last night after an hour ride. I usually do that by putting down the kickstand. That way I never get off and watch it fall! 
It takes a couple of seconds to reach the ignition and turn the key to off and then over to wheel lock . In that time I heard what I thought was just the fan running since it was medium pitched.
This morning I turn on the ignition and hear an identical tone and realize it was the same thing I heard last night. The engine's cold so I know it's not the radiator fan. It only happens when the ignition is on. It sounded like it was coming from under the seat. The next part we've all been through with taking anything to a mechanic. I drove to Engle and guess what........ it wouldn't make the noise even once.
This is when I evoked Schwartz's Only Law: MURPHY WAS AN OPTIMIST!
Dave suggested that when it happened again, start pushing on each button on the handlebars until the sound went away. Sure enough, it happened several times this afternoon and it was always because of the turn signal control. It's as though I had hit the turn signal release button but the slider didn't come all the way back to center. Later this evening it would make the noise when I turned on my right turn signal...... but this time both the right front and rear signal didn't work. Left side was fine. I'll call tomorrow and see what we can do. They thought it might be a relay?
Just wanted to bring this potential failure to your attention and I'm working on not taking so much space to say it!
