Front wheel bearing noise?
#9
Adjusted the balancer, it was set at 3 notches and seemed like the best spot. I have it set at 3.5 now but did not make a difference still have the noise.
Other notes:
Does not seem to change with front brakes applied - I did flush both clutch and brake fluids this winter
No adverse handling symptoms
Brakes/Wheel does not feel hot after a ride
Like stated, it only happens at 60mph. Slow down or speed up a bit it goes away. It will come in slightly when coasting to a stop at around 40 but its a quieter noise.
The noise sounds like a bad pinion bearing from a truck differential. A higher pitched whine, but I just don't get why it goes away once I start going faster. Maybe this noise existed last year and with my new quieter helmet (less wind noise) I can notice it now. And the noise definitely sounds like its coming from the front of the bike.
I adjusted the chain as well last night, wasn't very loose on the upper end of the range but I didn't get a chance to test ride after that.
Again, any suggestions welcome and thanks for your help!
