| Description of the problem | Loud noise coming from rear wheel after 30 minutes of riding. Most noticeable at 25-35 mph. Slightly more than normal rear brake caliper noise. Applying rear brakes did not change symptoms. Cornering and leaning there was an excessive vibration throughout bike. Took in for service requesting rear wheel bearings replaced based on symptoms. Rear wheel bearings were bad. Noise started when it had approximately 3200 miles changed at approximately 3700 miles. Should last 100,000 miles. Bike not longer has the vibration; however, after 30 minutes of riding the noise is still present. Still needs further diagnosis; however, dealerships seem unwilling or unable to diagnosis and make proper repairs. |
