clicking from front wheel

[tommyj27]

I've been noticing a clicking noise coming from the general area of the front wheel when I'm pushing my bike around the garage. It's been happening for a couple weeks and I didn't think much of it at first but today I realized I can hear it when I'm on the road and I pull in the clutch and just roll. It seems to happen about once per revolution and it just clicks.

Any ideas?

Speedo drive may need some lube.? Can you raise the front wheel off the ground and rotate it by hand and feel and see where the "click" is occuring on the rotation?

sounds like a good place to start

Thats where I would start is with the speedo.

i'll figure a way to get it off the ground. I figure I'll use jack stands and a steel bar per the fork seal howto since i don't have a fancy motorcycle jack.

Got the wheel off the ground, sounds like the clicking is coming from the caliper, I think it's the pads rattling around inside their cage (my rotor is very slightly bent).

problem or just ignore it?
