Public Discussion Forums > Mechanical/FAQ > The Garage

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?

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.

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.
