Hey Gents (and any Ladies),
I just did an oil change (per Dave's Video) and used Mobil V twin/Changed all the gaskets and rings. I happened to do the change on the first real cold day we had in NYC. Anyway, Now when I start the bike there is a CHEEP CHEEP CHEEP CHEEP sound that accompanies the start up chugs. It kicks over fine and it (the Cheeping) doesn't happen on a start up after the bikes been warmed up and turned off. (I thought there was smoke coming out of air filter i put in with the breather mod, but it was clean and appeared to be condensation from the cold.(garage door was open and it was about lower 30's that night.

I changed out the paper filter for Uni Foam but road once or twice before changing the oil and there was no noise.

This sound familiar to anyone? Any ideas?
 
Thanks Kalifornia, perhaps the seal is different with the foam air filter with no silicon ends on the top or bottom. I couldn't think of any problems I was having before changing the filter and once she was going she ran fine.
