Do you have a shield?  Cables rubbing on shield or down below?

These questions are always better if a video that includes the noise can be shared. The pitch, and timing of the noise helps those trying to help.

It is your throttle cables where they go down behind the headlight.  A little spray lube and they will be silent, for a while.

If I was a betting man this would be where I would put the cash at this point

I started having that squeak, too.  I turned the handlebars all the way to the right and tucked the cables behind that metal plate as shown and the squeaking went away and hasn't returned.

Note the cable closest to the photographer with the partial long metal sleeve bolt showing is the Throttle Cable.  Adjustments are made to the throttle play (amount of throttle rotation required before gas is fed to the engine) by spinning that long bolt toward or away from the throttle.  I had both my Light Switch and Kill Switch replaced under warranty due to each pissing me off when not working 100% each time I engaged um.  Obviously replacing the Kill Switch involved dis-engaging/re-installing the throttle cable to the new Kill Switch.  When i was first was told " it's ready ", there was way to much throttle play.  I watched as the tech tightened her up to my liking via that bolt.

I know some guys here live with the high beam having a mind of it's own.   I did also, but it did bother the hell out of me.   When my Kill Switch started intermittently not working (IE bike won't start w/o me dicking around with the kill switch), that's where i drew the line.   Second time I've needed warranty work.   Once again my dealer (Xtreme Powersports) and Honda step up to the line.   Next May my three year warranty expires.  Will inquire about Extended Warranty pricing (if an option).

he PMd me and thanked me for the Windshield comment.  Assume that was it.

Hopefully he will comment here and confirm to help others.
