No I don't mean dowel pins. Are you sure you put it together right? Best guess is the starter clutch will need replacing soon.

You can do this basic test; take the starter off the bike and apply 12v to it and it should run. It will make some noise but shouldn't whine. Do this and you have isolated the starter from the other moving parts of the bike and you can go from there finding your noise.
