Font wheel squeak - with odd video
Evening all!
My 06 pointy S is making an odd noise from the front wheel, it's been making the noise on and off for a few months but has now turned to constant noise. It only happens when I'm above about 45mph and doesn't change if I brake. It doesn't get louder the faster I go it almost seems to get faster as well if that makes sense. After trawling YouTube to see if there was a video similar to the noise mines making I found one! Although it had a weird ginger guy filming himself for some reason! (Listen to the sound don't watch the video haha) Any ideas what this could be? http://youtu.be/rCc-GJb81Cw |

Re: Font wheel squeak - with odd video
ok lets start by asking if you got a new helmet at the same when the noise started?
bikes develop different noises as they get older. check your oil level. |

No I didn't to the best of my knowledge, it's there when I wear either of my lids, and with the visors open. And the oil level is fine, and changed about 150 miles ago along with the filter

Re: Font wheel squeak - with odd video
Had the same noise myself for about a couple of weeks and it drove me absolutely mad.
As for what it was, I still don't know, it went away by itself :/ I did read a few people saying about greasing up the speed sensor on the front wheel though, the guy that posted this video made a comment about this too. Hopefully that could fix it for you. |

Re: Font wheel squeak - with odd video
Yeah its pretty annoying and slightly disconcerting at speed! Got it booked in to go and see a mechanic friend of mine in Saturday and I'll mention what you said about the speedo sensor
Ah the comments must have updated I found that video a few weeks ago and there wasn't anything useful in the comments.. |
