Mine literally screams after starting at zero degrees, even when I've used the block heater. But the "scream" tapers off within only a second or two and the engine sounds normal thereafter. I had two Dodge mini-vans that did exactly the same thing....

countermaker, I only have a few pics of the bike but they are close up shots. If you go to Wild West Motorcycles website, you can see much better pics there. Yeah, the bike is in the garage locked and covered waiting for spring!

I believe that annoying buzzing sound it makes on start when real cold is the power steering pump. My f-150 used to make the same noise.

Seems to be a normal thing in frigid weather. Now, I just press the remote start from inside the house and I don't get to hear it anymore.
