Hi Folks, I'd like some suggestions on what to look for- my eldo has developed a front end 'knock' when I go over (rough) bumps. I *think* its when the forks extend rather than compress, but I could be wrong. Any ideas on what it might be? It's not the triple clamps or steering head, that would've been too easy. Besides, it seems to handle just fine and I cannot reproduce the noise parked in the driveway. I never have taken a set of forks apart, so any advice on that front is welcome too. Does anyone have a spare top-tube cap so I can make the special tool that is apparently required? Aren't motorcycles fun? Jason |
Speaking of "too easy", I had an aftermarket chrome horn mounted on my
other Eldo. Every time I hit a really rough patch on the road, the back
of the horn slammed against the generator belt cover.
