Title: Weird noise coming from front left tire area......
Post by: Yamaha72 on December 07, 2006, 09:25:56 PM
Alright so I took my raptor for a ride last weekend and come to discover that there is a funny noise coming from my front left tire area. Like a grinding, weird noise, could this be my wheel bearing???

My z did that too, but it eventually just stopped. maybe a rock is stuck in your brake rotor?

That's was what I was thinking along the lines of, I am going to pull the tire tommorow to further investigate...... Hopefully its just a dumb rock...

the raptor os known to be the noisiest quad on the market. just a hint when you have the wheel off...... brake cleaner works wonders. i have to clean my brakes at least three times after a ride unless i remove the wheel and do a thorough cleaning.

Yeah, its probably just a rock or possibly a bearing. I would pop off the tire and see whats going on.
