Rear wheel grinding sound

[97BlkStandard]

Went to go for a ride today but had to abort as I have a intermittent grinding sound coming from the rear wheel.   More pronounced when I lean to the left.  Just had the rear end lube changed by the Honda dealer in Rapid City in Aug when I was at the rally.  Ideas?

Check tyre pressure. Anything less than 40psi in the rear can cause cupping of the tread which creates a vibe/grinding type sound.

Bearings or brake pads. Walk the Big Girl forward and backwards to see if the noise is recreated and if so what location. If you have a lift, even better.

Check shop talk on our website and get the bearing numbers. Go to a local bearing supply house and save a bunch of cash.

Motorcycle jack, tools, die grinder or good dremmel tool, chisel and hammer. $15 bearing and some quality time in the driveway with your Big Girl. Dealer?!?

A friend of mine has been riding for about 50 years now, but is a mechanical disaster area. Before I happened along, all his repairs (minor or major) were done by the local dealer.

OP, I'm with Michvalk and say left rear wheel bearing. Don't ride too far or too fast, you don't want it to collapse completely.
