Kawasaki KL 600 Eliminator running problems

I have a Kawasaki KL 600 Eliminator, it was standing for months, and ran like a bag of s**t when I started to ride it, turns out the plugs needed a good clean (top of the plug that connects with the plug cap), it ran sweet after doing this, then I put it away for the night, started it the next day, and when the engine is warm, there is a high pitch , high rev whine coming from the bottom of the engine, it starts at high revs, above 5000rpm...

any ideas?

Thanks
