clicking noise
Help i have this click when i push down on the front of the Zong. You can also hear it going slow on bumps i mean real slow it almost sounds like a hollow click could the spring inside the fork or forks be making this noise? That where it sounds like it is coming from is that possible? Had it off the ground can't find any play in anything
|
Clicking is a common sign of misadjusted or broken steering head bearings. Do you still get this if you lock the front brake and try to push the bike forward and backward without bouncing the suspension?
|
no noise when i lock the brake and push back and fourth unless i push it hard enough to compress suspension i will have to wait till i can get someone to push down while my ear is down by the forks it sounds like it is coming from there :hmm:

Another thing to try is to put the bike on a center stand or otherwise get weight off the front, and try moving the front wheel forward and back. There should be no looseness.
How many miles on the bike? |
had it off the ground push pulled on everything all tight no play has just shy of 9000 miles going to do a complete check on sat. The whole work thing gets in the way

When you have the front off the ground you are loading the top steering bearning.
You need to lift it and pull n push against the steering by the wheel to see if it is the bearings at the triple tree |
One other thing that might cause clicking noises, is a "loose" caliper or brake pads.
Not "loose" as in "not adjusted properly", but "loose" as in "it has a certain amount of free play in the bushings that is perfectly fine but still clicks". If you move it by hand you'll know what I mean. When rolling over small bumps I sometimes can hear mine clicking; but not if I'm braking, then it grips to the disc and makes no sound.
