No idea on the chirping, but drone is the annoying hum from the exhaust during steady cruise. Drone is very tolerable with stock exhaust, awful with aftermarket exhaust. What do you have for an exhaust?

The pipes are stock. I noticed on the forum that "Seadog" posted that he was having the same issue. I sent him a message inquiring if he found a fix. Hopefully I'll here back from him soon. I did install a belly pan on the bike. I'm wondering if i"m getting some kind of harmonic vibration from it. I may take it off and see if the noise goes away. Other than this noise and the somewhat clunky gears, I love the performance of this bike.
Sounds like a Goldwing to me. The chirping sounds may be the brakes till they let go and the clunking is normal, putting into gear for the first time when it's cold and high RPS. Most of this will get better after some miles on the bike. Enjoy!

I've heard some describe the shifting on their bikes as "clunky" but I swear mine shifts like butter. Subjective or is there a real difference?

Maybe, but I've ridden a lot of bikes, and I stand by my description. The only place I could even begin to use the word "clunky" would be after first starting the bike and the RPMs are still high due to the engine being cold and I shift into 1st gear. But that's the only time and if the bike warms up a bit, that isn't even there.

Might be a bird???Open your bags and check for this guy.....then set him free!!! Or just turn up the tunes and ride on
...after a good ride in the rain, my vest "extenders" will squeak.
Let us know what you find out!
