Default Big bore build chirping on cold start

So I just did a FM 107 build, when it's freezing or below with a cold engine that's been sitting overnight my engine will chirp for a few seconds. Is this something I should look into. When it's warm out, no problem at all. I had manual releases and it seems like it comes from the left side of the bike
