Halloween has been and gone, so it shouldnt be screaming and howling and more !!!

My money is on = you need to repack the wheel bearings with High Melting Point grease. (black in colour)

Once you do this and ride the bike for a while, you need to check bearings for play again. Once the bearings free-up ya might find that they are fooked !

It could also be coming from trapped air in the rad system. Being the time of year it is (cold) you might as well put in new coolant and re-bleed the system properly.

Sorted...Front wheel bearings replaced and no more noises. :hyper: After chatting to a yamaha mechanic it seems that on a Fazer, even if you slightly over tighten the wheel bolt when refitting the wheel it can bugger the bearings causing this revolving, screaming noise!

Whilst the wheel was off I also cleaned up the Speedo assembly which wasn't running as freely as it should and had a slight squeak....Could it have been that?

I also fitted some trim to the edge of the double bubble screen....could it have been that? I doubt it.

Main thing it's sorted now

Thanks for your input and suggestions
