I know I just bought it but my bike has developed a squeak/squeal in the front end, I am suspecting it may be a wheel bearing, any idea how to check and does anyone know the bearing number (I have quite a few bearing lying around due to having sold bearings for years)? 
Thanks
Ben

Do they have a speedo drive on the front wheel?
Spent heaps trying to get rid of a squeal on the ZZR and it turned out to be the bloody speedo cable

no speedo drive on the front wheel if the 636's.
at a guess i'd say wheel bearings, or have you fitted ned pads recently?
or are old ones toast?

Re: squeal in front end ZX6RR 03
pads were checked relatively recently but will pull them off and check myself, the sqeal is not constant but almost like it is at a certain poin in the rotation - hence at high speeds it is not really audible
