• 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.

Whooshing sound

I have noticed what I can only describe as a whoosh whoosh sound coming from the front tires mostly at low speed and I think more from the left front then then the right but not sure of that . I only have about 200 miles on it .any ideas?

Turn up your radio and enjoy the ride. :doorag:
 
Jack up the front and turn the tires to see if you can duplicate the sound. It is probably nothing, but there again the dealership, might not put it together right. Probably not a rare situation.
 
All of the above...

you might just take a look around to see if some hose or wires were not secured...maybe a bent fender brace...:dontknow:
 
Be Careful if you spin the wheel with your hand- *NOT IN THE SPOKES*

The 2014 and newer have a tight tolerance between the spokes and the Brembo caliper that is known to eat FINGERS! The manual has a warning to not wrap your fingers around a spoke....my right index finger can attest!!!!

Also, I once had the wire for the lights going to the fender rotate close to the tire causing a rubbing sound...worth a look but probably just the brake pads scraping past the rotor as they "float" and get seated.
 
I have the same sound on my 2016 RT. Took it to the dealership. They took the wheel off and found nothing wrong. It drives me crazy! I now have over 6000 miles of whooshing noise!
 
Tire pressure -- low from stealership

MY :spyder2: was delivered to me with all tires at low pressure. Could be the brake pad just skipping across the disk but mine don't and neither to the front disks on both my bikes.( The pads retract JUST enough)
