What's that Clunk!

Date: Friday, August 31, 2001 From: Nathan Simon Referring to the sound of the front forks over small to large bumps... The clunking that you hear when you go over bumps or hit the brakes too hard is coming from the steering bearings inside of what looks like the frame on the front of your SV, what must be done to fix it is: First, remove the triple tree, do this by loosening the two allan screws on either side of the tree, then remove the large nut on the middle of the triple tree, it is a 30mm nut, then carefully pull every thing off, the instrument cluster will come off with it, then you will see a round nut with three notches in it, you need to tighten that down with about five pounds of torque, put everything back on, and never hear the clunking again... Email me, Nathan, with any questions regarding the process. Good Luck!!!
