Squeaking noise from the front

#1 Post by sfoley1 » Mon Nov 02, 2009 1:39 pm

I had a very odd rubbing/squeaking noice that seemed to be coming from the front end this morning when going over bumps. When I stopped I pushed up and down on the handlebars and away it creaked - like a creaky bed noise (I await the double entendres).

I stopped and had a look, couldn't see anything untoward and the front fairing appears solid.

After 15 more minutes of riding it stopped and hasn't returned.

Any ideas?

so that'll be a 'no' then D-Rider???

Good memory stirring pics though.

The mice must have buggered off because the noise hasn't returned
