It is a new bike. Personally, I wouldn't go too crazy with removing and messing with things without first taking to the dealer, since it is under warranty. Or at least don't tell them what you did (some might use it as an excuse to harass you). Hopefully you have a good dealer.
But won't they charge me an idiot fee if it ends up being nothing? (IE: Charge for the hour it takes them to take the wheel off and put it back on, or to tell me it is just the brakes...) If Odds are they won't charge an idiot fee, then I might just take it in... If the dealer is good enough for Jay, good enough for me... haha
It could be just nothing, but it could also be something. If it's something I can check for free, I'm apt to do that, because of how much I ride, and the fact that it's my only transportation. Basically all I care about is the wheel bearings at this point. If it's not them, then there's nothing else up front that could make that noise that's going to kill me.
I've put over 1000 miles on it in the past 2 weeks, and have another 250 mile trip on Monday, and my schedule hasn't even filled up for next week yet, so I don't know whats in store for riding the rest of the week... And to think I'm not even that busy yet...
And thanks to the gentleman for the tip on the spark plug socket... I'll give that a try when I find my brain...
