This #triumph #speedtriple 1050 is new to me, and it needed quite a bit of work even with only 1,945 miles on the gauge.
The rear wheel bearings were one of the last things it needed. The love-centric melodies that play in this video fit my vibe for this Triple. :)

After replacing:
Both tires, battery, fork seals, front brake rotors, spark plugs; Rebuilding the front calipers, oil change and flush fluids;
A pretty loud humming noise became more and more present while riding, especially at about 80mph and above. A few hundred miles later, and the obvious failed wheel bearing noise was present at almost all speeds.
Replacing all 3 bearings did the trick.
