Hey everyone, new to the forum here, been lurking for awhile, and finally have a question to ask.
So, I have a buzzing sound coming from the front wheel area. I just did a front/rear tire change, and front brake job. When I’m at speed, I have what I can best describe as a buzzing sound coming from the front wheel. It comes and goes at various speeds, but is present.
I’ve checked, and I do have a 2mm separation on the right spacer between the spacer and fork, so I’m not sure if that’s the problem. I’m planning later this week on taking it apart and putting it back together again to inspect and see if that fixes it. Was wondering if anyone had any suggestions?
Buzzing noise front wheel?

If you have a 1200 ... that fairing is known to generate noises that seem to be from the front wheel. Maybe the twins do too.

You might also be hearing tire lugs as they contact the road.
I noticed that when I had fresh Dunlop E-3s when I was banked over on a mild turn.
