06 xb12s when turning right there is a grinding sound followed by a clunk bike gets wiggly. Now the front engine mount needs to be replaced but i don't think this would cause the sound it is making in the rear?

Anyone have this problem or a similar one, what was it wheel bearing???

Any help would be great thanks all

the front engine mount could definitely cause the bike to be wiggly. As far as the noise i would check the wheel bearings and check your swingarm pivot shaft along with anything else in the rear. Fix the motor mount first, then see what changes.

If the front motor mount needs to be replaced, then it is very possible that the pivot arm bearings, AND the wheel bearings are at a replacement point. Roaring will always be there in a bad wheel baering. I go to an empty road get up to 30 and hit the kill switch, and move my head around to get a better idea of where the noise is coming from. All of course while wearing a non DOT skull cap just to free the ears up.
