Hi Guys

I have a 2011 800 XC and I want to know if anybody else has had a knocking noise coming from the headstock? I rode the canals awhile back and after that every time I brake there is a knock. I've done a little research and the guys in the UK have also had similar problems with thier bikes. Apparently on some later models there is a spacer that needs to be fitted to resolve the problem. I'm sure  the bearings just need to be pulled up a little tighter, but just wanted to know if anybody else has had a similar problem.
