Gooch,
Good to see you this last weekend. Glad you made it home ok. Hit much rain on the way north.
My ST4$ was making a whine last time I took her out. I was thinking rear wheel bearings since I'm at 25K with her, but I checked my chain alignment yesterday and she was off a bit. I haven't taken her out for a spin yet, let ya know. I'm ordering wheel bearings anyway as a precaution. Good cross ref info on ducatiwiki.
Lastly, My self and alot of other ST4$ riders are running a 15/43 combo for gearing.
Take care.
