New to the site and to owning an R6 8)
Have recently aquired a 05 Yzf R6 and have noticed a clicking/grinding sound coming from the front wheel. It is definatly the front wheel. It is worse when traveling at a low speed, like in traffic. There is only 7000 on the clock so am wondering what can be wrong. Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated. Other than that, all I can say is WOW!! Best bike I ever had..

It could either be coming from the brakes or the wheel bearings. If the previous owner rode a lot of wheelies I'd lean towards bearings. Without hearing it myself I can only give an estimate.
