Title: Knocking Forks
Post by: Brucie64 on 29.05. 2009 20:54

My A10 Spitfire, when raised onto its center stand makes a knocking sound from both forks, I assume this is due to the weight being taken off the forks and imagine the sound is due to them topping out on their stops.

Is this norrmal?

Regards
Bruce

Yep ,
And it is even worse when you are on rough road.
That is why a lot of A 10 owners fit latter model double damped forks.
Paul Geoff also sells a double damping kit that will go straight into your forks.
