Knocking noise in front fork
Hi, maybe this is normal but.......
I have noticed that when I go over a bump in the road of pothole i get a loud knock from the front forks. It seems to be OK in normal roads or in small bumps. This is probably par for the course but as I am new to this, just want to make sure there is nothing more sinister.. BTW, I have a Pointy K3 with 5200 miles on the clock. Thanks |

Err, yes, even my GSXR RWU forks do that, but to a lesser extent.

My USD GSXR750 ones have a different knock "Bikes make noise", as Randy O says.

Or it might be some part of the damper mechanism, that's a popular suspect. Or the calipers.
