Default Screeching when hot

I am the Newbie , My first Bike , 2014 HERITAGE SOFTTAIL CLASSIC , My first forum . My new bike has 5000 k on her now , been riding a month and the other day after a nice ride I accelerated away from a stop sign and heard a Screech , sounded like it came from below the Tanks , shortly after in my drive way , in neutral I rolled the Throttle and sure enough still there , I put her away , next day , out for a ride , getting back , there it is again , under the same conditions , Hot , accelerating or not , but rolling the throttle . I am still under warranty but I need to learn so If you know something please share , thanks.

You need to try and figure a little closer as to where the sound is coming from.. My bet is the primary ..

Bring it in for your 5k service and have them look at it for warranty stuff. Make sure you schedule a waiting appointment and ride for an hour before hand like you said it started after.
