aholexx Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 I JUST INSTALLED NEW TIRES,16TH. SUNNEX SPROCKET(DOESN'T HAVE DAMPER LIKE THE FACTORY GEAR,MAYBE THE PROBLEM) AND NEW CHAIN ON BIRD WITH 24K. I'VE NOTICED A FAINT ROLLING NOISE IN THE FRT. AFTER THE REPAIRS. SOUNDS LIKE THE FRT WHEEL BEARING MAY BE GOING BAD. NEVER HAD THE PROBLEM BEFORE I INSTALLED THE TIRES. HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED THIS BEFORE? Quote

kwxx Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 Make sure your front axle nut is tight. Loosen the fork axle clamp on the axle nut side and tighten the nut to spec and retighten the fork axle clamp. Quote
cstucker45 Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 what name/kind of tire? my new metzler sportec makes noise. Quote
aholexx Posted January 22, 2004 Author Posted January 22, 2004 pilot sports, could be a tire noise Quote
cbrxxman1 Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 I have pilot sports with 5000 on them and have never herd any noise. Quote
jrdxx Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 I've heard a growling noise from Pilot Roads, especially when they were new. See if you can differentiate road noise caused by tire/pavement contact from mechanical noise on the bike. Quote
