Anyone know a rough idea of front end parts. Got a clicking noise from forks under heavy compresion, so could be fucked springs or steering head bearings.

So any one know, how much time in garage for springs and bearings change?

Never heard of front springs breaking - or clicking. If it's a regular click-click-click under heavy breaking inspect your front disks for cracks or warpage.

I seem to remember hearing that worn fork bushes could give those symptoms.

haD my tyre changed and the guy seems to think it's the head bearings have worked loose. Just need to take off bars un do forks take off yoke and tap the nut round with a flat blade driver and hammer until tight enough but not too tight the bars won't turn. So gunna give this a try during the week.

Will post update when I've either fixed it or completly ruined my front end. Thumbs Up
