Front tire Whine

Just got back from an early morning ride. Earlier I raised the front end and removed the caliper. The tire spun super smooth and quiet. Took a little bit of time to slow to stop so I figure the new bearings are OK. Increased the pressure to 40psi, 48 to the rear tire.
Seems all's well now. Had her up to 80 and did some quick lane changes on the Interstate and whine no-more.
Again, thank to all you guys for your help!!!

PS. Got my magnifying glass out and the 40psi was for bead seating. I found the 42psi caution

Glad you got it sorted out. Similar to Hoople I always run the max psi cold recomended by the tire manufacturer but I'm usually riding two up.
