    [Q, ,
    Hi
    UOTE="Dozers Dad, post: 62004, member: 3042"]Hi Kevin,

    Any idea where the noise is coming from? Without a bit of a clue it's a needle in a haystack question.

    i.e. Is it when you go over a bump? Or when the brakes are applied? Is it present when you shift around in your seat? Or turn the bars at low speed etc?[/QUOTE]
    Hi, I can only hear it at low speed , in a straight line Sounds like it's coming from the rear wheel. got no sign of wear on the break disc, you know from the pads

    Regarding this noise - does it disappear when you lightly apply the rear brake, as you are going along?
