While riding my bike I have noticed a pulsing squeek coming from the front end of the bike. Applying the front brake lessens the noise. And in sharp right turns the noise is very pronounced. Any ideas on what to check and how to fix? The only thing I can think of was warped rotors but the look true to the eye (which I understand doesn't mean too much).
Thanks,
Jerry

Oh yeah, the noise doesn't do it all of the time, it comes and goes at no particular time. But it is consistent on sharp right turns.

In turning right you load the right hand bearings and that side spacer and that part of the axle.
You may if anything is loose just be dragging the right brake if that is even slightly out of alignment (caliper to disk )
I would drop the front wheel & inspect the components & make sure when re-assembled the axle is upto torque.
