Title: Front end "ssshh" sound
Post by: moto on June 07, 2021, 07:27:05 AM
Hi

What could be wrong when you hear a little noise from the front when I tilt the bike while riding. Could be the bearing bad and the brake pad touching the disc. Noise is like a whoosh (ssshh..)

Some tires make different sounds with lean angles. Happen in both directions?

My tires make a noise when leaning / turning (both directions)

Service provider replaced the brake pads last year - had noise whether I was applying the brake or not; come to find out the pads were after-market.
Mechanics replaced with proper Kawasaki pads and that noise went away

Hope that helps
