Re: ** Front Forks - Hellp ! **

chances are your forks are snapping back to quick and hitting the rebound spring inside your forks. make sure there is enough oil in them.
any chance you can post a pic of your forks? so i can see what type you got . my friends bike had the same problem. when i stipped them down there was no O-ring on the oil piston and no oil on one of them.

Re: ** Front Forks - Hellp ! **

test and make sure it aint the clamp lock nut under the top yoke thats loose. You should be able to tell if its loose by holding the front brake and pushing the bike forward (not down) if it moves or clicks then you will need to do it up.

Take the middle nut off the top yoke then where the clamp nut is use the tool to do it up. If you dont have the proper tool you can hit it round with a screw driver and hammer just make sure you wedge the screw driver in the bottom of it so you dont wreck it. Once thats tight do up the middle yoke nut and your done.

I wouldnt leave it, although you could. It only takes 5-10mins to do, you might as well do it.
