Have you kept the chain well lubricated?

Otherwise, have you noticed any notchyness in the sterring? Try walking the bike and slowly turn the bars for notches. If so, you've got damaged head bearings.

If you've come down hard on the front or back from a wheelie or stopie, you might have damaged wheel bearings.

Do you have a pitbul or similar stand? If so, set the bike on it and rotate the wheel by hand and listen for unusual noises. This would also help you to diagnose bad bearings.

Unfortunately, if you have been wheelieing or stopieing, this damage would not likely be covered with the warantee.

Godspeed,
Kong
