    Can hear a noise sounds like intermittent wheel bearing on left side of bike. Does not change if I pull in the clutch. Can only hear it at low speeds 60k and under. Bike has only done 4600ks. Any ideas??

    Got the same problem mate, only when turning left too.

    At slow speed the front end slightly vibrates when weaving through traffic. I put that down to tread pattern. Any ideas on that one. 
    Going in for service next week. Will have it all checked out and put on the forum.

    I had the same on my 09 Sporty.  Bloody odd noise when at low speed (but not all the time either) and then it would disappear at motorway speeds etc.

    Front wheel bearing was shot to chit!  Somewhere in the past a previous owner must have been over zealous with the power washer and got water into the bearings or perhaps they were light on grease in the first place.  Either way took the rim to dealer and they swapped out the bearings for about $100 all up - showed me the old ones and they were buggered!

    As said above ,,, lift bike, and spin wheel and check for strange sounds and clicking type sounds ...
    Also with bike lifted and stable ,,, grab wheel , (front and rear), and apply side to side force and check for excessive play .. there really should be none .....
    Other than that,, remove wheel and inspect bearings  as per manual ......

    Update on the lowrider “”
    Had front bearings checked and they were not seated correctly so the spacer was putting too much pressure on the bearings. Also removed 2 balance weights of the rim. 
    Noise at the rear left was wheel alignment way out , putting high tension on the belt and pulley. 
    The bike should not have gone onto the showroom floor with those issues. Not good enough!!
    Bike is sweet now.
