Message: [QUOTE="Bud-Man, post: 125169, member: 20830"] Do you still have the springs you took out? Perhaps try putting them back into the fork and see if it still makes the noise. At least you will know that the spring is what is causing the noise. Perhaps the "end prep" of the new spring isn't perfect, which may be causing the spring to deflect under load. If the assembly is ok, then lets start examining the things that are different after re-assembly. Worn headset bearings could account for the noise but I'm surprised it didn't show up before. Did you take the triple clamps off the bike? If so, perhaps the headset is just loose. Yet another possibility is that the fork guard is hitting something now. I wish I had more to offer, but I'm a bit stumped. [/QUOTE]
