Should I be worried?

There's this strange whistling noise on my 2021 Yamaha R3 lately. It lasts about 2-3 minutes then it just stops. no issues after that and the bike runs perfectly.
Would love to hear if anyone's had a similar issue and what should I check? Thanks in advance!
 
If it only happens for a few minutes and then goes away with no other issues, its probably nothing serious. I'd check all the hoses and clamps around the intake to make sure nothing's loose or cracked. Lots of poeple have had similar sounds from stuff like that.
 
Have you managed to figure out where the noise is comming from? Sure, it could be nothing, but it could be the start of something more serious.
 
That's odd. does it happen during startup or while riding? Could be a vacuum leak or intake whistle. Check if there are loose hoses or anything rubbing near the fairings.
