• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

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!! :shocked: ) 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?? :dontknow:

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! :opps:
 
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.
