Strange humming noise
I have a 2016 SG with about 7500 miles on it. On a recent trip to the Smoky's it started a slight humming noise on left hand curves from 30-50 mph, but doesn't make the sound any other time. I put the bike up on the jack when I got home and spun both wheels and they sound fine, the bearings seem to have no play either.
The tire does have a flat spot in the middle, is this just the sound from a cupped tire, or something else? The tire still has plenty of miles left, I hate to replace it early.
I may call the dealer but I am guessing if they do not find anything they will recommend a tire and if I don't replace it they will charge me, does this sound right?
It seems to ride fine, what are your guys thoughts?

It's the tires. I guarantee the edges are feathered if your center is well worn.
You can keep riding it and all will be fine, or you can cut the cupping/feathering off with a rasp.
