Front wheel bearings
Developed a clicking sound in my front end. Sounds like bearings to me, I checked my spokes and used a screwdriver stethoscope to isolate noise. How long to repair and at what cost? 1979 GS 1000.Tags: None

Have you ruled out the speedo drive gear? Mine seized up on my last summer, had to take it all apart and grease it.

Wheel bearings
Yeah I looked at the speedo cable, did not disassemble. But the key is the front end is getting a little squirrelly, I was on a loose gravel road when the problem made itself noticibale. Got on some solid firm pavement still a little wiggly.
12 bucks sounds good and looks to be the route to take.
THANX...
