I have a 99 Tourer with an annoying clunking from the front fork area. I have had the forks rebuilt as they were leaking and I thought this would help with the problem, but to no avail. This (the clunking has been going on for about 5k mi.) I only feel it from the left handlebar!!
Could it be the steering stem bearings need replacing? I only ride it locally and the occasional run up to Phoenix to see a friend. This problem is annoying and I would like to fix-it this Labor weekend, Thanks in advance for any and all help.
When I had the front wheel off I checked the bearings and they were just fine.
Mine clunked when going over harsh bumps. Eventually, even smaller bumps were doing it. Sure enough, my steering head was loose (finger loose). Tightened it up and the clunk went away.
