Rode the raptor up and down the street to warm it up to check out today. Realized two things. 1. My neighbourhood must absolutely hate me. Today was the first time I rode without a helmet (not making a habit of it). The exhaust when stabbed is deafening lol. And 2. I'm hearing like a sort of roaring ball bearing noise.
It's not a squeak or anything. Just sounds like massive ball bearings rolling. And I seem to hear it more on the left side. When I slow down, noise quiets down. When going faster it gets louder. I don't think I'm mistaking the sound of the cam and valves with it. I wouldn't think I'd be able to hear those at 50 mph. Gonna jack it up tomorrow and see if there's wheel bearing play in the front end.
But would that sound mean something with wheel bearing? If never noticed it before. But I always where a helmet that blocks a lot of sound. I'm pushing 200 hours on the chassis
