So normally when I turn on the bike without starting the engine, id hear a noise for about 5 seconds that then turns off. Id never noticed it once the engine was ON since the bike is pretty loud, but I think if it WAS making the sound it must have been much more silent. Today, once I heard it, I couldn't stop hearing it.
At 0:14-0:18 in the video, that is the noise im referring to. Normally the sound was silent enough that I couldn't hear it over the engine. Now, as you can see in the beginning of the video, It is pretty noisy while the engine is running.... Any idea what it could be?
In this second video, the bike is completely cold and the noise is not nearly as loud as it was during the day but you can still hear it. Also, the noise seems to be somewhat on the right side. Its really noticeable at 0:20

Sounds like your cooling fans - What temp is the bike at - They will be behind your radiator if you want to confirm that it is them

In the first clip when you turn the key back on that's your cooling fan spinning. In the second that sound is the fuel pump. In the first clip your fuel level was on the low side plus the bikes on the side stand so the pump will be louder. With a full tank it'll be much quieter.
When you first turn the key on the pump runs for a few seconds to prime the system.

Everything sounds normal to me. I concur with the two posts above mine. I think your bikes fine.

I included this final video, showing the 2 fans by the radiator are not the ones making the noise as they are off. I believe it IS the fuel pump as some of you have said, Just not sure why it sounds so loud now.... Even while the tank is completely full and the bike is leveled and in a cool state, the fuel pump can still be heard pretty damn loudly when the ignition is on, and it doesn't go away regardless of fuel level or temperature. It is on and loud during the entire ride. Can you guys just confirm your guys' bikes fuel pump is just as loud as it sounds here @ 0:30?
BTW, on a totally unrelated note, @ 0:22, you can se the little tube for excess coolant has turned brown whereas originally it was an opaque white.... Is this fine? Any ideas why it turned brown? could the residual coolant that was there have gotten sun burned? I have no choice but to keep my bike outside... Always wondered about this but never did find out if this is normal
Thanks for the help guys, id have spent so much at the dealership having them check the bike every time I have one of these questions so I usually ask here first

Fuel pump it is. Same winning noise as mine! Does it regardless of fuel level or engine temp. Noticed it roughly 1000 miles ago. Added it to the “It’s a MT10 thing” folder alongside the engine ticking noise and the vicious/deadly addictive bottom end torque” and kept riding. Never gave me any issues and I give the bike no mercy. Hope that helps!
