    Default Front wheel noise.

    2019 RT. Getting a little chriping noise in front right wheel area. Sounds like a wheel bearing sound. Jacked the bike up and all seams solid. Slight drag on brakes, both sides are the same. Blew out any dust, 4 miles of gravel a day, no rocks. Can hear sound 40 to 60 mph. Applying the brake the sound is still there. If you let up on throttle the sound goes a way, just on power or constant throttle. Any thoughts on this. 3000 miles

    Is it a regular rotational noise that's happening at the same rate as the wheel is rotating (ie.... bloody fast at 40-60 mph!! ) or is it a lesser/slower frequency noise?? Maybe something that fluctuates up & down in volume &/or frequency even at a steady speed?? Or is it just an occasional chirping noise that could be something like a brake pad grabbing every now & then??

    Need a bit more detail about the noise, what it sounds like, when it happens, how it varies with speed/anything else, or even IF it ever varies to really help much more.... sorry!

    The sound stays about same frequency, a little faster at 60 than 40. Can not hear it at lower speeds. The sound is always there at those speeds. As miles and time go it's getting louder.
