re starting thread

Instead of starting another thread for the same problem, kkim sent m this for "the squeak". This bike has had the problem before, the previous owner had it back at the dealership a few times before I bought it, at 1200 miles. They had already ordered a new speedo gear, when it came in, I took the bike down on a Sat, and then they found the front wheel bearings were shot from being too tight from the factory, and unsafe to ride. (hopefully that will be the only time I have to ride b***h on a HD) So they replaced the wheel bearings and everything was golden, until last weekend, when I started hearing the squeak again, at just over 3K miles. So, recap, on my bike the front wheel bearings and the speedo gear has been replaced. I am going to try the WD-40 on the bearing seals tomorrow and see if that helps.

Has anybody else had any more problems with the front end squeaking?
