    Rode my 2016 t120 for the first time yesterday. There is a light whirring sound when I apply the front breaks. Changes a bit when I lean either direction. I see bearings on for sale starting at $9.00 a pair...up to about $25 each.

    Think I will just enjoy riding it. Being a perfectionist sucks. At least it isn’t grinding. The abs brakes are odd as I am accustomed to skidding here and there.

    Thanks, I will remove the calipers and check the bearings that way. Could not tell with them dragging.

    Sounds like the bobbins on the disc, they do tend to vibrate.
