RE: Clunking noise



It is from your floating disks settling.  they settle occasionally with a
small clunk.  The clunk hasn't effected braking so all is well.
Check it out some time when you pull out of the garage.  push the bike
forward and clamp down on the brakes and you should hear a mild clunk.

Jonathan,

About the clunking noise you mentioned from your** front end: three
possibilities, from looking at all the list traffic over the last couple of
months:

1. Loose headstock bearing; put the bike up on the centre stand, get someone
to lean on the grab rail to get the front wheel up and try pushing the front
axle forwards & backwards to see if there is movement in the head bearing.
Or something like that.

2. Loose something - brake pads?  Unlikely

3. It's so cold that your wrists have frozen and your shoulder joints need
to be oiled.

Neil
** OK, the bike's front end
