Default Clunk/Rattle Noise From The Front End!

I have a 2002 954 with only 8,000 miles in great shape. What disturbs me is that everytime I hit a bump, pothole, etc. there is a distinct clunk noise that actually makes me feel insecure about the bike. I know that the triple tree nut and the fork clamps are tight. The only other thing that could clunk on the front end is the fender and that is tight. I am baffled. The only thing that I can think of is if the adjustable suspension is set so loose? Please advise with ideas. Thanks. Lance

MAybe your preload is too soft,try adjusting your front end.OR you can also check the bearings on the steering head.

I would check the plastic to make sure that is secure. Odds are it is something simple. Put it on a front stand (milk crates, 2x4's whatever) and smack the front tire with a rubber mallet to see if you can get it to make the noise.
