Triumph Street Triple Screeching Noise at cold

[glynlowen]

Hi all,

I’ve a 2012 Triumph Street Triple. When I start it, it on occasion, makes a screeching noise from the engine, although calms down once it warms up.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Glyn

More info for the experts on here, i take it that the oil level and filter are ok?
Also is the clutch lever in or out with the noise?
You say screeching but any tapping / rattling ?

@jaffa - thank you. Oil and filter are fine, just a screeching noise as far as I can tell. Will try and post a video when I get home!

I've had bikes make a screetching noise from the starter clutch rollers not fully disengaging.

Yeah starter clutch is the instant thought, how long does it keep making the noise once the engine has started?
