Gremlin Squeaking
So I have this gremlin making a heck of a lot a noise.
1. High pitch Squeaking
2. Sound comes during idle only after the bike gets warmed up after a minute.
3. Sound is pretty loud, seems louder when on jiffy stand versus at a red light where it still squeaks pretty loud.
4. On throttle it's fine
5. Bike has 5K miles on it. Slip on SE.
So I read could be hangers and to silicon around it but the hangers on my bike sit farther back and that doesn't seem to be the source of the noise. The pic Ive taken is where I had narrowed down the noise I think.
Anyone have this issue before that could shed some light what I should be greasing or tightening? All the clamps and bolts around these areas are tight and not loose as I checked through it. I just don't want to slap Silicon at every joint and elbow if I can avoid it.
Thanks

Tighten up all the clamps on the exhaust that hold the shields. Make sure the excess part of the clamps are not rubbing on anything. Look at the exhaust support bracket, make sure there are no broken clamps etc. Also make sure the header pipes are firmly attached to the exhaust ports.
