Triumph Rocket 3 Roadster 2018
Hello,

I have a Triumph Rocket 3 Roadster 2018, sometimes over the past couple of weeks, I would sometimes hear a creaking sound, or something grinding. I can feel it at my feet, it feels like something is grinding, It's not the breaks. I just got my Rocket fully serviced also.

This creaking / grinding only happens when the bike slows down, or moves very slow. I especially noticed it when I went up the driveway at a low speed. I'm not sure what it is, because this is new. When I'm riding my bike at high speeds or shifting gears, it doesn't happen, bike acts fine as normal. The creaking /gridning only happens when I'm at like slowing down to a dead stop, and sometimes happens again when I'm taking off but going at low speeds. But once i'm past 10mph I don't feel it.

Could it be the suspension, maybe metal on metal?

Wheels not rubbing on anything then?...can you lift the wheels off the ground and give them a spin?...
 
I don't have a light, maybe I can get something on Amazon to prop the bike up.
