If so its a slightly warped disk or even a bearing, although it could a budgie is stuck in your fairing but unlikely

i wouldnt be surprised, yesterday i kept hearing a duck quack everytime i went through a right hander.

Does the noise dissapear or change pitch when the brakes are applied?

nope.

that's exactly what it sounds like, first time i heard it was when we were pulling in under some trees at apollo bay, i wondered why the birds suddenly stopped chirping when i stopped

geez pontikat you scared me with the bent front axle remark, i thought ok fuck how much is this gonna cost!! hehe $19 is ok though. but how does it happen? related to having a new tyre installed recently? ie carelessness or just wear n tear?

taking it back to brighton kwaka on friday to get the tyre turned around and see what they think the noise is.

The front axle on the Fzr6 is solid "something" ?, bloody thing is bent by new tyre time it also flogs out the bearings so they replaced as well.
Puts $30 on the price of a front tyre each time. Think it just gets bent hitting driveways etc, normal wear n tear stuff. I just commute on it till recently. When it bends the wheel wobbles on the axle n that would be enough to get a squeak happenen'.
