hmm... could just be something as simple as a loose bolt on the valve cover.. not too much under the tank to be squeaking and rattling other than the kleen air stuff, and the coils.

could even be a loose tank bolt..

doubt it's anything to do with the actuation of the kleen air control and bypass valve.. could be, tho.. but that thing is open under load, and closed under throttle shutting and engine braking.. shouldn't be in there squeaking..lol


oh.. and welcome to KF!!
