    Hi all,
    had my 675 on front and rear paddock stands since last euro at the end of April. bounced both the front and rear every month just as a matter of course.
    loaded bike up today ready for a Spanish trip and when I turned the bars (mainly to the right) there was a creaking noise. couldn't pin point where it was coming from. I was wondering if it could be something as simple as over tightening the bars or as sinister as the head bearings.
    any advice most welcome as if it is the bearings I need to take some out with me next week
    cheers
    Mut
    forgot to say bars still move smoothly with no catchy feelings through out range of movement
