Do the forks squeak/groan when you pump them with the front brake on?Do they make a noise if you turn the bars lock to lock?Are you sure its the forks making the noise as you pull away?Could be the brakes or even the "braying donkey" sound from the clutch. I guess the bike is still under warranty? [/quote] Definitely not the clutch as I can feel what a vibration through my hands. Seems more pronounced when I ham pulling away and turning the bars at the same time. Seem to recall the vibration and noise varying as I turned the bars. Have pumped the forks but not with the front brake on. Will try that again, so thanks for the tip. Yes bike is only 5 months old so will call the dealer tomorrow. cheers Derek |
