Banking hard right, I get a whine Tires? | ||
| Chasespeed |
I got some good wine in the wine cooler(poor or not, I like good wine), and 2 whiners in the other room making a racket... Anyway, is there anything else you could attribute this to? any better decription? how do things FEEL? is the bike pushing through turns? is the rear getting loose? ONLY when turning right? some people turn harder one way vice another... What kind of tires, how many miles and seasons... Chase (Message edited by chasespeed on May 25, 2008) | ||

I thought it may be a tire, the front is ready to be replaced. I do turn harder to the right. Maybe wheel bearings? Brake pads? Belt? Would the isolators flex with a side load? 24000 miles | ||

I just replaced the front and rear isolators. The bike feels solid, just seems to whine, like a gear whine, but only on the hard right sweeping turn I really like sweeping turns [just thought I would throw that in] | ||

Did you do anything with the brake pads recently? If not, I would probably look into the wheel bearings myself... and go from there... Chase | ||

From a tire guy, I would look at the front tire to see if there was any cupping on the tire, that makes noise when pressed. | ||

Tire is ready to go, but why only right turns? I have been practicing lefts, hanging my big body off the side. I pull pretty hard, not nearly as much noise, if any | ||

Silas, close your eyes and run your hand over the tire if it feels lumpy it COULD be the noise...or wait till after you change your tire. Oh and tires don't wear evenly. | ||

Practice rights and even it out. Sounds like a new tire is in order. | ||

Could be rear wheel bearings. There are 2 on the right side and check the belt tension too. |
