hi everyone I had my Monster back from a major service for 2 weeks, and I have noticed it started to develop a strange squeaking noise when moving the bike at slow speeds (or parking it). it's a small, quick squeak every revolution meaning that it's not the suspensions at all. any chance what could be causing this? also I already wrote to Metropolis as the bike definitely didn't do this before the service, although it took a few days after having it back for me to notice it, so I am not entirely sure it's their fault. thanks! Fed
Put bike on paddock stand, then slowly rotate rear wheel and see if you can hear where it comes from. Front might need a helper, get the helper to lean bike over on sidestand until front is off the ground and again rotate wheel to see if you can hear it. Most likely just a brake pad binding but good to check as squeaks can be annoying. Good luck.
will check shortly and report. this way I should at least (maybe) understand if the issue is with the front or rear brake
Don't ignore my extremely helpful suggestions, just check the dam ear rings and check for a mouse :Banghead:
check wheel bearings could be a dry bearing or wheel not fitted correctly (as mentioned) if not fitted correctly it could have damaged the bearings
I agree with Johnboy - worth investigating wheel bearings. I don't know if the 796 uses the same wheel bearings as the 696, but on the 696 they're a known weakness (I'm on at least the 3rd set of front and rear wheel bearings on my 5 year old 696).
