On a few occasions went starting the bike for the fist time of the day I've have heard what sounds like a rush of air that last maybe1-2 seconds. It appears to come from the right side of the motor. This does not happen very frequently so it's hard to chase down.

Anyone else ever notice that sound? What the heck could cause that?

Loose or damaged intake boot?
Loose or missing vacuum line?

Not sure what the intake boot is? Are you referring to the throttle bodies rubbers?

Again this happens very rarely. I've looked for air leaks with the bike running, using carb cleaner and contact cleaner on 2-3 occasions. and found no issues.
