Hi there,

I've finally joined the SV650 club and gotten a K4 pointy last week. The bike's great but it seems to have one annoying feature which I've noticed whilst riding it.

There's a repetitive squeaking noise when I ride the bike at low speeds. It's not particularly loud but it usually can be heard at the start of the journey and at low speeds. It gets less audible after about 5mins of riding but it can recur at other random times e.g. after I have taken a turn.

The bike has a scot-oiler which needs to be filled-up at the moment so I thought it might be the oil needle rubbing against the rear sprocket. I sprayed wd40 on the sprocket and near the rear wheel axle in case it there was grit in it.

The sound still hasn't gone away. Thinking about it, the sound may be coming from the front wheel Iobviously I can't check whilst riding) so I might lube the front axle just in case. Failing that I'll need to get a paddock stand and then get someone to rev the rear wheel whilst I try to locate the source of the noise. Any ideas on what else it might be/ what I need to check?
