HOGRIDA....As for the chirping sound, my 09 SG just recently started that noise as well, beneath the tank there's a stabilizer bar that bolts onto a bracket. Check the bolts on that bracket, they mount to the cylinder heads, that's where my chirping was coming from, the bolt on the bracket wasn't torqued down. good luck

Oh and far as the bike being noisy... my bike sounds real loud out of the top end.

I had that damn chirp, also would get it if I blipped the throttle at low speed, or if I pulled in the clutch and coasted then let the clutch out. I and my wrench swore it was coming from up front, we were wrong though. It was a loose drive belt! once we tightened it up, the noise went away.
