Hi All, Hoping someone may be able to help with this. My 2 month old R6 is starting to make a very painful noise. When I am pushing it the back wheel makes a loud squeeking noise as if the brakes are on. I think it only does it on certain parts of the tyre as when you are walking it the sound comes and goes. Not really sure where to start on this as I am quite new to biking so dont really have much mechanical knowledge. Any help would be appreciated!!

Thanks for that - really detailed answer and really really helpful!!

New to this forum so first of all a big hello!!! Just looking for some advice really. Passed my test a few weeks ago and am now enjoying myself on my new R6. I know that its probably not the best choice for a first bike but to be honest I dont intend to drive it like a man possessed so think I will be ok!! My question is about carrying a passenger. Is it comfortable for both rider and passenger? Not looking to do long journeys - maybe about half an hour at a time. A friend of mine is pestering me for a go on the back of it (he is about 14 stone) so Im hoping it wont cause too many problems. Understand that I will have to take it nice and slow with a passenger which I am fine with - just want to make sure it is safe and doable! Thanks in advance!!
