Hi everyone I have a 2012 MOJO. When I shut the engine I hear a brief hissing sound where air is rapidly escaping. It's very brief and noticeable with the engine cover up. Everything else seems normal. Any thoughts? Almost sounds like a hose is loose.

I hear it but I've got no idea.

That is just the intake sucking air one compression cycle of motor. They all do it. Think of your engine as a big vacuum shutting down. It will suck air for a brief second.

Thanks, appreciate the insight. Not a sound I've heard before but I've early had the engine cover up. I'll just close it and resign myself to inlgnirance being bliss :) On with the surf season.....
