I am mis-tafied with my patient, a 91 1500 se with 90,000 kms on her. She has developed a small squeak which I thought was birds chirping in the trees. It was occassionalbut then developed into a constant and loudnoise coming from somewhere in the front. Tonight I tried to isolate the noise by removing my front brakes and spreading the brake shoes apart so there is no pressure onbothbrake disc`s. No traffic and it is late, so I went for a ride and the noise is still there? Brakes are infine shape too. The brakepistons movedeasily and all the brake pins have beenlubed too. So I am looking for guidance. I think I have eliminated the front brakes by doing this.I amwondering if it iseither front tire bearing or could it be something in the speedo gears.Never did anything to the front end except brakes and tires when required.The fronttire is up in the air right know and I spin my tire but do not hear much, but I do hear what I think is the speedo gears turning somewhere in the fairing. If I had more spin cycle I might be able to make a squeak with thefront end blocked andin the air, but no luck tonight. Clearance between brake caliper and disk on the left side isan easy .028 in. as per spec. Any thoughts that could shed some light into my dark tunnel guys? Trying to avoid checkmate. Thanks in advance for your eyesand time.
