Hi guys

Just picked a new (used) bike up and there's a low pitch dull squeak when you turn the steering, it's from a respectable dealer but just wondering if if could be dry/worn head bearings.

It passed a mot on weds.

Go back and have a word with the dealer would be my recommendation.

Do a few checks first in case it's something daft, for example, get someone to tilt it over back wheel and stand on the floor and turn the handlebars while the wheels off the ground to see if it's still there etc

Most probably a cable or hose rubbing against a fairing panel.

Check for that before you make a tit of yourself at the dealer's...

Good advice guys!!

Bracket that routes the brake pipes was pushed to far back and rubbing on the inner fairing!

I would have indeed looked like a tit!
