Message: [QUOTE="xenasdaddy, post: 125321, member: 22638"] springs are already back in but i have the others. if i can not diagnose the location of the sound with someone else pumping the forks hard, i may resort to putting the old ones back in just to see if it may be the springs as you say. but it does not sound like a metal on metal hit, more like if you drop a baseball onto cement. triple clamps never came off. steering stem nut is tight. i actually removed the fork guards to make sure they were not hitting. could it be the front brakes? i think i will remove the caliper from the fork and brace the front tire against a wall tonight and push down and see if i hear the same noise. also, i just noticed that a few people recommend 16lbs of torque on the fork clamps, but i used the what the manual recommended 20 on the bottom and 22 on the top or vice versa (do not have my manual here at this time). i do appreciate the help. xd [/QUOTE]
