Iv noticed lately as I pull my bike into the house in the evening, if its cold and damp outside I hear a squeak/whine from the rear axel as im backing it up, and sometimes when going forward. Im thinking this might have stemmed from the douche escalade driver who smacked my bike over but, just wanted to confirm none of you have had this.

Also,, and more alarming is, twice now when iv went to start my bike, I wait for the Vtwin light to go off hit the start button and I hear this I dont know how to describe it, but just a god awful sound from Im guessing somewhere in the crank case. I mean both times it scared the **** out of me. almost like the sound of your kickstand bouncing under heavy braking. Every time I stop immediatly of course, off/on wait for the Vtwin light and it starts just fine.
