1098S Ohlins fork clunking?!

  1. Just notice this evening when compressing my forks fully they make a clunk as they return up?!

    I've never noticed this before, is this normal?

    My bikes a 2008 1098S with 7k on the clock!

    Cheers in advance :)
     
  2. you sure its not the brake discs if you are holding them on whilst compressing the front...
     
  3. It does it with both the front break on and off, I did think that but surely it wouldn't clunk with the breaks on?
     
  4. Although in saying that the noise changed when the front break was applied! I think it's my front discs gripping
     
  5. A couple of months ago someone described similar symptoms on a 999 (I think) and was about to get forks overhauled before I suggested headstock bearing wear/play, which is what it turned out to be.
     
  6. Yea, bearings is a thought, Have you got a paddock stand for the front wheel?
