what you need to do is take off the plastics and have some one turn it like you said and then try to pin point the location of the noise.:macho

How the heck are we suppose to know what sound your bike is making?:p

hope that helps :cool:

oh man, thats bad. looks like yer just gonna have to bite the bullet and buy those extended a-arms you have been avoiding, and of course with that you'll HAVE to get new front shocks, and when you do that, you will HAVE to get a new rear shock (lest you be uneven), and since you have all that new suspension to move around, you'll probably just HAVE to get a new steering stem and stabilizer, probably one of them trick little wrist wresters from houser as well so the problem does not re-occur. Sorry I had to be the one to break it to you, but I think you'll recover just fine :D

i got ...."CRANAL-ANAL-ITUS"....it's pretty rare. but common with your siblings,and/or that slow car infront of you on the high-way.
in lay-mans terms it just means i'm a butthead.....

and yeah it's the lower bearings....
