You may have answered your own question there! May I ask who installed your tire and are you sure it was done exactly right? If you paid someone to do it bring it back to them, they may have over tightened your belt or lined your wheel up crooked.

talked to service dept at the local dealer... sounds like its gonna be the outer primary cover bearing. i thought it might be a bearing since i heard rumors of the bearings going out with 5,000 miles on other bikes, though i read they were gonna have a recall on the bearing, but decided it wasent a widespread problem.
