Default Strange noise when turning on ignition K7 pointy

Hi peeps, my K7 08 pointy makes this noise when I turn the ignition on. It's always done it but I don't know why. The bike starts and runs fine but I would like to cure it if possible. It sounds like something is getting stuck but not quite. Could it be the fuel pump? Click pic for video.

Is the sound the secondary throttle valve actuator? It does a set of moves when you turn the bike on.

My K9 makes that noise, and I bet it doesn't make that noise if you start the ignition with the killswitch engaged, then if you flick the killswitch down it'll make that noise?

Sure you haven't got a dot matrix printer in there?

Not sure, will check the next time I'm near the bike.

Its the standard start up noise.
Its to do with the fuel being primed for the injectors, unless some one else knows better.

Any way it as it should be.

Don't worry.
