Was pulling into just cruse the parking garage and all or a sudden it sounded like something came loose in the front end. Like a caliper or the disk. Almost feels like a bad Bering like a clank every rotation. Wife is on her way to get the truck. Into the shop tomorrow.

I have video of the front tire with the sound. Almost sounds like a loose bolt hitting. But it would do it every time and this does not.
If someone wants to post it for me I can text it to them.

so sorry to hear it bud:frown2:

maybe something under the fender hitting , I've seen a screw get stuck in the tire and rip the fender because it was so low over the tire
or something caught up in the brake pads

could be many things just try not to roll it until you can safely figure it out

its got to be something jammed in the brakes or something wedged on the fender I would think. have you had thr front wheel off are there spacers that need to be in the correct place? tire flat or really really low?

my guess is flat tire

Here is the video. I looked and saw nothing. It sounds internal to the wheel like a bearing.

to me sounds like something flapping
either loose fender, or something around the air box area, horn?

but I do remember at least 2 people complaining of front wheel bearing problems and they had to have changed out
since the bike is still new, it should still have 1 year warranty have a kawasaki dealer inspect it

could be fixed for free if its factory defect

Front bearing siezed need new rim. Hopefully it won't take too long.

hmm

so add another person to the wheel bearing list

wonder if this is going to be a problem for others

Obviously their bearing supplier sucks.

 

[BudMasters]

Anybody got bearing dimensions? Would like to replace with ceramic before this becomes an issue.

What's the hold up? Is your dealer waiting on the parts?
