1098 New Sound From Front Suspension

Discussion in '848 / 1098 / 1198' started by Dokus, Feb 15, 2023.

  1. After a short ride without incident on my 2007 1098s i have a horrible clicking noise which seems to be coming from the right fork.

    I can feel it clicking trough the bars. It clicks when i push or lift the front, with and without braking. I can see nothing that's binding and the steering stem seems tight. Everything seems to be working fine.

    I've made a video of the sound, here I'm just rocking the bike back and forth without braking.

    Any suggestions?

    Found this this as well with same/similar problem. No solution though

  2. Front wheel bearing ?
     
  3. loosen the right hand handlebar clamp and re-torque? could be coming from the clip on, have seen this before where it has had a knock or something and becomes stressed.

  4. Well, this issue solved itself. When removing the forks the right one was making the clicking noise.

    After laying on the bench for a few days the sound was gone and have since then not come back. Must have been an airpocket or similar.
