Hey gang, greetings to all!

Any of you ever hear a squeak coming from the front tire?? Mine squeaks when I roll slowly, like at a light. It's a squeaky sound like our brakes make. Could it be the steering nut under the triple tree?? Or the front axle?? It doesn't squeak steadily when the tire spins, only seems to be one spot that squeaks when the tire makes a revolution.

I put the bike on the lift and spun the tire- No noise. Only squeaks when I'm sitting on the bike (I weigh 155lbs soaking wet). Any thoughts?? Bike has 2000+ miles so I doubt it's a bad bearing..

It might also be the brake pads on the rotor.  My front brake would squeek with the original equipment pads.

I know for me and my neighbors......the sound of my bike doesn't seem to intimidate anyone and may well disquise my speed.  The bike just quietly motors along and doesn't make much of a fuss about it.  When I am out riding and see someone in their yard working or playing ball with the kids.....I give a friendly wave and they wave back.  I don't feel the same way when I hear a snarly sportbike approaching.....even though the rider may be a really nice guy.  Somehow that sound high revving snarly exhaust tone just puts me on edge....especially when there is a group of them all blipping the throttle.

Pry the brake padaway from the rotor/ slide the caliper to create a gap /both sides of the rotor, roll it,, see if its brakes or axle.
If you could jack the tire up it would be good.

Nope grease the whole thing. Sometimes even new bearings have a bit of a tight spot and the axle will try to turn in the race instead of just supporting it. Usually goes away after the bearing gets warm and the grease disburses. BUT, sometimes the bearing was just made or installed wrong, greasing the axle lets the race spin on the shaft instead of dragging on the shaft.

It is an old old old Harley riders trick when nothing else seems to work. And I'll take a basketcase Knuckle, Pan, UL/VL or JD over a running Savage, no problems no second thoughts.  Trying to get my 1957 HD sent from western WA, but it needs roughly $28K in parts and labor to be perfect again... my Savage just needs the wiring finished.
