Wheel bearings?

[Gerald]

If it was a chipped tooth , I would expect it to happen whenever it was rotated, even with the weight off the rear wheel/jacked up. It doesn't though.

Like I said, hope it's not but going to have to check all related parts so being that close I'd have to check for piece of mind.

But the manual says it'll never need service!

Have you check the ABS disc ?

Tried it with the swing arm in various positions including jacked up w/ no weight on it. only does it when it's under it's own weight or more. Would think a bad u-joint would do it regardless when it's rotating.

Just thinking out loud..... is the spacer in against the bevel box??

Wheel bearings. Changed them all out this afternoon and the noise is gone and it seems to roll around a little easier. Used the Nachi ones from vxb.com.

I think everything needs checking and servicing at sometime.
