I have a 2002 vstar classic. The front wheel developed a squeek, almost like the breaks were rubbing. It's driving me nuts. I drove home in the rain last night and this morning I noticed the squeek......... Anyone got any ideas?

If you think it sounds like the brakes are rubbing, you should really get it checked out, just in case that is what it is. You want to make sure your brakes work and are in proper order before driving, especially on a motorcycle. Is stopping a lot harder now?
