When i use the front brake and rock the bike backward and forward to compress the suspension when the front suspension is nearly fully compressed and it comes up theres a clunking but i can't work out where its coming from. any ideas fellas?
I put it on a bike jack at work today and theres no play so i dont think its the steering head bearings.
Are the little clips still in place on your brake pads?(The bit's which clip to the caliper and hold the pads) That could cause knocking which you could check with the wheel off the floor again.
Other than that it could be the bushes in the forks?
its a dtr mate is there anyway i could check if it is the fork bushes?
You might be able to feel it by taking the wheel off and pushing/puling on the fork leg.You should be able to feel/hear it if that's where the problem lies.
I'm just guessing with that one tbh as i've never had a problem with the fork bushes.
is mostly the head stock bearings with that noise mine does it need to tighten em up, nock the castlated ring round a few time and then try it
Cheers Norfe, I will give it a go but it defo seems to be coming from further down and you can only hear it when the forks reach the point where they are almost fully compressed with the front break held hard on..
