Squeek from the front end.

In the last couple of hundred km's an annoying squeek has developed from the front end. It only happens when I hit a bump or there is a rough section of road. It's a hard noise to describe. I went around the whole bike and made sure there was nothing loose (found a few of those allen head bolts that hold on the plastic fairings had come pretty loose so tightened them) but the noise is still there.
I've tried to replicate the noise with the bike not moving and I can't which makes me think it is definitely not coming from the forks, also it doesn't appear to be coming from the front wheel either.
Anyone have any ideas as to where to look next? I don't believe it's a major issue, it's just annoying.

Check the front fork. Mine was squeeking too...a forkleg was not good in line with the brakedisk. (Not tight enough to the end of the front axle) Loosen the fork and line out the brakedisk and the center of the brake caliper(push the forklegs to the inside and fasten the axle). Maby thats the problem?


Gr. Johan.
