Clunking sound over small to large bumps on a curvy
I hear a clunk not much but its there when i go over bumps but have sort of ignored it
I was on svrider.com and found this quote " Referring to the sound of the front forks over small to large bumps... The clunking that you hear when you go over bumps or hit the brakes too hard is coming from the steering bearings inside of what looks like the frame on the front of your SV, what must be done to fix it is: First, remove the triple tree, do this by loosening the two allan screws on either side of the tree, then remove the large nut on the middle of the triple tree, it is a 30mm nut, then carefully pull every thing off, the instrument cluster will come off with it, then you will see a round nut with three notches in it, you need to tighten that down with about five pounds of torque, put everything back on, and never hear the clunking again... Email me, Nathan, with any questions regarding the process. Good Luck!!! " Is this true? and whats a triple tree? cheers |

My curvy forks clunked from the day I bought it to the the day I part exchanged it for my SV1000 - I just ignored it!

I hear the same noise & haven't worried about it tbh. Someone will be along shortly to scare us both.

They all do it, nothing to write home about. Don't believe evreything you read on svrider anyway - have you seen their hints and tips pages talk about DIY botch jobs.

Yeah i have been reading some of there tips and stuff.
I was just sort of ignoring the clunk as well but was interested to see if anyone else had the same issue or had resolved it. |

Whatever you do, don't adjust your head bearings as described: it's ********.
