I finally have my 914 moving after a 2 year rest. I can hear a "chirping" noise, like bird screaming at times. I'm thinking brakes, it may be tough to diagnose when it is elevated to inspect. I am not applying the brakes and going only 10 mph.

Any clues, or should I look carefully for a missing animal.

Question may seem lame, but perhaps someone has knowledge that will save me many hours. This forum has been a terrific help in the past.

Hey Thanks to all

Going out of town this weekend but bearings or fender rub seem the most obvious.

We shall see
