Just wondering if other owners experience a heavy clonk sound going over sudden or deep bumps? My bike is 2005 Breva 1100.
I rebuilt my forks last year. I have noticed a clonk sound that seems to come from the headlamp cluster.
I'm not sure if the sound is from here or is a shortwave been transmitted through the front suspension.
Last week I removed each suspension unit and stripped to check over. I found nothing that did not seem out of the normal condition. I use standard fork oil of 10 viscosity with 400cc in each leg. The adjusters have been screwed in and recently far out with no difference.
I have checked the steering head bearings for play and there is nothing to speak of.
The sound seems to happen near or at the far out of fork travel. Perhaps I should try using less oil to reduce the air compression to lower the height slightly. I think this works. I certainly has the opposite affect if too much oil is added.
Does anyone have any thoughts?
