Crikey... We really buggered this poor guys thread..and I started it. Sorry.
Actually I just tried something else. I went out to the garage and lifted my bike from the side stand and held it vertically. I then turned my bars slowly full right to full left, and I could hear some creaking noises. Wouldn't call it a squeak, but just cables and wiring loom being stretch and compressed noises. Nothing to be concerned about, just never heard it before, or heard it and never paid any attention to it.
Wonder if someone else could try the same thing and report. Just stand the bike vertically and turn bars lock to lock. I'm sure it's a perfectly normal noise, and nothing to worry about.
