Evening all,
Woke up this morning to a squeaky bike.
The front wheel, specifically (Suzuki DR650, 2006 model with around 33 000 kms).
On rolling forward, it's quiet for about 1/2 - 1 full rotation, and then the squeaking begins. Quite loud indeed. Squeaking continues until I hit a certain speed (not sure what speed, will measure tomorrow, but guessing around 20km/h).
It's coming from the right side of the front wheel bearing area. There is nothing obstructing/rubbing against itself that I can see so I'm thinking bearings, but I have zero experience with this so here I am.
Here is a recording of the sound, if you can 'bear' it... haha... get it.... (.aac, should be able to play in standard windows media player ):

Advice is appreciated.
