Front Wheel Ticking Noise
« on: October 06, 2014, 10:21:33 PM »
Took wheels off myself and had dealer install new tires.  Reassembled front wheel according to service manual, torqued to spec., etc.  I gave the front wheel a couple of spins while bike was still elevated and I hear a faint ticking sound as the wheel spins.  Thought it may be the brake pads rubbing the rotor, so took calipers off...ticking sound still there.  Wheel bearings looked good.  Bike is a 2010 SESG, 15,000 miles.  Is this normal?  Any ideas?

Found a post on another site where someone had the same thing on their Harley.  Inspection by dealer showed there was some metal in the wheel from the maufacturing process.  I had my bike in the dealer today for another issue and had the tech look at the wheel.  Bearings are fine.  He concluded it was something in the wheel making the sound as wheel turned.
