Rumble on corners

[Andyb43]

Hi all I have started getting a rumble through the foot pegs when I corner! In a straight line no problem, the bike has done 12,000 miles seems low to have rear bearing failure!

Anyone else have problems with the rear wheel bearings?

What tires? Check to see if there is strange wear in the transition from straigh to leaned.

I think they all do that Sir.

No .............. as verboten1 suggests, it's probably just worn tyres. OK, check out the wheel bearings for good measure - it's simple enough. Otherwise, just get the bike on it's stand, weight up the rear, to get the front wheel off the ground, then run your hand around the tread - I suspect you will find some uneven wear starting to show, which makes the tyre 'sing' a little when cornering. Then, back on the ground, just to make sure the damping is effective give the bike a good bounce at the front & check that it settles immediately. Undamped travel, say due to a leaky fork seal, can cup front tyres pretty quickly.

Once checked, personally, I wouldn't worry too much, unless it is making the handling unpredictable.

I used to get that when running the Mitas E07 Dakar's but no since I put on the Michelin PR4's.

It's your tires. Now that I have 10,000 miles on my Tourance EXPs, when leaned over off the flat it makes a rumble noise. Time for some
new shoes.

My Mitas Dakar e-07's make more of a hum than a rumble when leaned over in the corner. Figured it was a sign of appreciation Used to get a different sound from the short time I had the K60's.
