whizzing sound while riding

Hi All,

While riding , I can hear a whiizing sound which is best described . it can only be heard above certain speed (20-30mph). not sure whether it is front or rear . could it be wheel bearing ?

I am thinking of putting on stand and listen to it after spinning each wheel but not sure if i can narrow it down as the sound is only there after certain speed.

also when you hear squeeking from brake pads, is that a sign of something?
My experience been no they are still ok but asking in case you have a different opinion

Subframe!

Anyway, on a more serious note, I think my zzr600 made a funny wizzy sound if I didn't oil the chain, possibility?

My new helmet does that at 20mph+, and I'm certain its cause it was a display model... fuckin' pissing me off either way! Sad

Oh wait you wanted relevant, helpful posts? sorry, can't help you there.

if its a high pitched whizzing/squeaky noise, do you have a cable driven speedometer or tach?

The sound is till there. the chain is tight and have applied castrol engine oil to it .

i used to apply it to the rollers and after reading haynes it is suggested to apply it to the links on the side which did .

I guess it is normal and I have never realised it before.
