I searched the board for this issue before posting, but didn't find anything.
I am a new rider, just took delivery of a new 2009 FZ6R today. After a short ride I now have a whopping 3.1 miles on the odo. I noticed when I was moving the bike around my garage in neutral (switch off) that there is a slight rubbing sort of sound that seems to come from the front end. It's not a high pitch squeek or squeal, more of a low frequency sliding kind of noise. It seems like it could be the brake pads rubbing the rotors slightly. It happens with the wheel cut or straight. Is this normal? This is my first bike, so I'd appreciate any insight. I didn't notice any change in pitch if I applied the brake a little either.
Also, is it normal to have a little more resistance rolling the bike when it's in gear and the clutch is in versus neutral?
It's an awesome bike though. So smooth and lot's of power (from the little I can tell in 3 miles) compared to the Suzuki DR200 I rode in the MSF class.
Thanks in advance.
