Found it *** never mind the attached thread*** although it is pretty funny. Bottom line if I stood my bike vertically and twisted the bars to the right, myself and others could hear the wiring loom rubbing against the steering head I believe making a squeaking noise. Nothing I ever worried about.

Thanks guys for the confirmation, I think I'm hypersensitive to the bike for taking it into the dealership, which I haven't done for a long time because my KLR650 is so easy to work on. I should get there (doing own maintenance) w/ this bike as well, but in time...just not sure about the 8k service...8.7 hours!? the shop told me. Yikes. That's good motivation to start spending some time reading up on the how-to's.
