At my latest service I asked the dealer to check into what I thought was a noisy fan bearing or similar. The noise sounds like a high pitched constant whine or a pressure leak from a radiator. The noise remains constant with changing revs.
I was told it was the fuel pump and that some of them make a high pitched whining noise over time, but they still work fine. To my ear the niose seems to have become louder over the last few months.
Has anyone experienced this on a Gen 2 before?

Yep, that works for me as well so far. Funny that mine is an '09 gen 2 as well.

Surely these noisy pumps are not right & should be replaced under Warranty. Dig your heels in & kick some dealer arse , Not good enough ,I reckon .

Maybe we will just have to pretend it is a turbo whine and be done with it. Or maybe change it out once it becomes as loud as a baby's scream for the one Gruntmax put forward in a parallel post on fuel.

How many Ks do you have on the clock. I have an 09 and so far (touch wood) mines ok. I have 23000k on mine. The rec recall was not just on the 09 it covered many different suzukis.
SPEED ISN,T EVERYTHING BUT IT SURE IS FUN.
