Fork noise
« on: July 20, 2023, 16:54:35 »
Hi all, Has anyone got any ideas why my front forks make a “click, click” noise when the forks are compressed? It happens when you come to a stop and also if you push the front down standing next to it. Thanks.

Are you sure it's the forks and not head bearings?

Maybe check the mudguard mounts.But if you can hear it with ear plugs and a lid on probably head bearings.Get the front wheel of the ground and rock the forks back and fwd  gripping the bottoms soon tell.

If you are holding the brake whilst testing the forks it could be a number of things.

Head bearings
Loose pads
The brake disc
Fork internals
