Howzit Guys,
Has anyone noticed any noise (a clunking) from their front end?
I have.
I've done about 30,000 on mine, under fairly harsh conditions at times, so I'm maybe one of the higher mileage bikes.
The forks have been serviced, and in fact I've swapped in new cartridges from HK Suspension NL. So I don't think it's anything related to the forks. 
The bearings have been adjusted for load (by me) according to the manual. And it has gone thru the UK MOT.
Both of us have noticed the bearings are a bit "catchy", so I intend to replace them soon. But they are not collapsed or excessively loose.

I've seen a USA Motorrad notice about noise to front end. So I think that might be my issue.
It's on the www.hp2enduro.com site:

But has anyone actually had this recall/replacement done?
Must have been an issue if the HP2 Motos all have the new fork bridge???

I'm HOPING to get my dealer to do it, or at last give me the fork bridge. It was a UK bike. But isn't on warranty anymore.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Alan
