Numerous 2024 models have been delivered with improperly greased front wheel bearings. There are many complaints about this reported on line. On delivery my motorcycle exhibited a grinding sound coming from the front wheel. At the 625 mile dealer service the grinding was somewhat louder but not corrected by the scheduled service. Returned the motorcycle to the dealer at 950 miles to have them corrected. Dealer greased the front axle and the grinding noise stopped. The problem is they do not replace the wheel bearings, which have been running without grease for 900 or more miles in these motorcycles. This could cause premature bearing failure which could cause loss of control and/or front wheel lock up.
