Need a little help diagnosing this chirp... video included

Can you guys give me a hand? Occurs only on cold start and goes away after 20 minutes.

Sounds like a dry pulley to me. Remove the belt and spin all of them by hand. If any spin freely with no resistance at all, they should be replaced or cleaned and repacked with fresh grease.

Hey Red5 - question - You can repack these pulleys with grease? Any info on how? I thought they were sealed? (I've replaced one awhile ago because it was noisy like the OP's)
