Just got it firing!
Good Morning All,
I'm hoping I can get some advise on how to replicate a knocking I have just discovered from the rear end on my Stelvio.
I had pulled up out side a shop this morning to get a Breakfast Bap (Lovely by the way) and when leaving I had to drop down a normal sized kerb onto the road. I went very steady and dropped down and when the rear end left the Kerb and met the road there was quite a loud clunk. I have tried to replicate this on the road and have only heard it once more when I hit a pot hole in such a way that the rear end crashed into it rather than the suspension doing the work. I can stand up and bounce the front and rear suspension and all is smooth and responsive with no noises, this clunk only seems to be when there is a shock coming upwards from the floor. This is making me feel like it could be something to do with the CARC brace or swing arm but like I said I cannot replicate the noise with the bike on the centre stand.
Does anyone have any ideas of where to check, it is a pretty hefty noise like big metal coming together almost like when you take the play out of the shaft, but this is related to suspension shock or travel I don't feel its related to the rear shock or spring and it sounds like its coming from the rear wheel area.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
