[QUOTE="infrared, post: 1432094, member: 68615"] Rookst9, I had a strange running noise with my 2008, 'way too new (low mileage) for bad bearings to be the cause. Stopped at a hilltop, left the engine off, rolled down the hill. I could lean the bike to either side under me, not turning, and hear the sound well. No chance it was engine, clutch, et c. It was the old tires. I needed new tires at that point anyway, so I switched to the Pirelli Angel GTs. No more noise. Flawless. I'da sworn it was the bearings, but they were fine. I'd say, with the engine off, roll downhill in Neutral, and then in gear (clutch lever pulled in), and try leaning the bike without turning, to both sides. See what changes, and go from there.
