2016 Yamaha Bolt Base

Hello all, fairly new Bolt owner. Bike makes this squeaky sound when starting & goes away after 20-30 seconds. Happens sometimes. Sometimes, no squeak at all. What could it be? Thanks!

Squeaky sound

Taking another shot in the dark. Sound when idling occasionally & sometimes during startup both cold or hot. Any ideas? I don't think it is from heat shielding. I believe the sound is coming from the area indicated in the video. Any ideas? Runs like a dream I might add.

Is this sound normal? Sound goes away roughly 20-30 seconds after starting & getting warmed up.

I know Yamahas are noisy but I am a fairly new Bolt owner & still learning what is normal & what is not.

Hello, all. Super confused about this problem. Bought this bike not too long ago. The left front/rear turn signals work fine. The right front/rear are hyperflashing. The front right hyperflashes slightly dimmer than the rear right. Previous owner put on an aftermarket headlight but everything else seems original. Also checked all turn signal bulbs. Don't see any signs of burnouts. All connections, wires, & bulb housing seem sound. What could it be? Is the hyperflashing harmful long term? Asking because I may just ignore it to avoid taking the bike apart & potentially damaging anything.

Thanks for any help!
