I've also read on other forums like GSX or Kawi...that if there isnt much lube (or the lube gets dry) between the brake pad pins...there brakes dont pull back fully after applying them...hence the noise...

thats why when i bleeded the front and rear brakes and i remove pads and calipers,cleaned everything,lubed the pins and places where the pad slides with synthetic brake pads lube.that is taken care of.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN_5l...ature=youtu.be

i only have replaced bearings on my trailer for my pick up truck,nut that trailer does not driver 160 mph.
how you put the new ones in?? dont you need a press?

Maybe I should've asked what the noise sounds like? I watched the video but I couldn't hear anything.

When you spin your front wheel on a stand or freely, how many rotations does it take to come to a stop or does it make any noise while rotating?

1) wheel bearings
2) adjust chain
3) warped rotors
4) dust/rocks between brake and rotors
5) re-lubing speedo cable


sigh...

No. That's not normal..haha are you dragging something into your left corners? Scraping could mean rotors..depending on what you mean

it rotates freely, makes lots of turns and all you hear is the normal sound when pads and barely touching the rotors.same or similar sound its on car when you mount new rotors and new bad.
you can hear it on that first video ,typical bearing sound when i shifted in neutral and from 40 mph when drops back to 25 mph.

definately take the front wheel off and inspect the bearings, axle, seals, brake pads, calipers.

put your finger inside the rim and manually spin the bearing with your finger. you shouldn't feel any grit or play. Inspect the front axle, it should have a light coat of grease on it and no signs of the the bearing wearing on the axle. (it should be completely smooth) if a bearing starts to go bad it will start to spin quite a bit on the axle. inspect the seals.

i've seen folks put wheels on without cleaning the grit and old grease from all the mating surfaces, seals etc. (this will cause bearing failure and a ton of noise in short order) i use wd-40 sprayed on a clean shop towel to clean all the old grease and grit off the axles, spacers, seals, inner bearing surfaces, mating fork and swing arm surfaces. (do not spray the wd-40 directly on the bearings just the shop towel and use it to wipe the surfaces only) apply fresh grease to the axles and dust seals, then reassembly.

power washing or car washes i'd be careful not to blow water past the dust seal into the axle and bearings. (also keep high pressure away from the radiator)

take the brake pads off and inspect for even wear and to insure nothing is imbedded into the pad material. i personally have had a small piece of metal in one of mine. looked like it came that way in the pad? wtf

ebc pads on my 061krr made a squealing noice that drove me nuts, finally went back to oem pads.
