While washing the ST13 yesterday (it did need it), I saw something unusual coming from one of the drain holes in the front wheel casting.
I looked closer and started poking into it and picking at it. There was something there. It seemed a little greasy and maybe had some hair on it. It finally came to me what it was. I plugged the other drain holes with duct tape and 2 of the other 3 larges holes in the center. I rotated the wheel so the suspicious matter was near the top. I put a small vacuum hose into the remaining hub hole and compressed air into the gooey hole.
My suspicions were confirmed. Look closely at the hub.
