    The problem is your riding a maxim, you should trade it in for a seca (lol). No really though, maybe check your brake rotors to see if there warped at all. Also check that your pads are lined up right.

    Disconnect your speedo cable from the lowere gear drive on the left front of the front wheel and see if the noise goes away. If so, probably the speedo cable or the speedo itself. You may be hearing the middle gear wine also. Wonderful sound. Does it change with speed?
