Milwaukee Eight cold startup noise
Hi everyone.
This is my first post, Leonardo from Brazil here. Just bought a 2017 street glide Special, amazing bike, it's my seventh harley. Bike runs great, it has about 440 miles in one week. I'm being careful with the break in procedure.The only thing strange that previous bikes didn't show is a loud whining at cold startup. Seems to come from the valves and it quiets down as the oil circulates and the bike gets warm. When the bike gets warm engine gets quiet at starts. So, anyone with the Milwaukee Eight has the same behavior with the engine? Thanks!

Welcome to the forum first off.
Not M8 familiar but have read others with similar description as yours. It may just be the cooling system on cold starts and normal. But you may have better responses posting in the M8 section.
And don't go easy on the break in. Maybe too late now but open that throttle up to at least 4K.
