Normally i ride with plugs in so i can't hear much. just nipped to the garage from work so wasn't neccessary and i heard some moans from him.
There's a kinda creaking noise on the front left, seems to be if I'm going over bumps or something. Only rode for a mile or two so didn't get much of a chance to listen. Front Forks?
Rowan, take him out for a quick spin and see if you can hear anything next time you see him.

Re: Front End Creak
Are you sure it is the front and just something like the suspension linkages?
