"Clunk" sound from front fork

Post by op3l »

So my PCX ever since new had this "clunk" sound whenever the front suspension compresses past a certain point. If I hold the front brakes and push hard down on the front forks, it will make the sound. The front suspension feels fine and aside from the annoying "CLUNK" every time I go over a bigger than normal bump.

Any idea what might be causing this clunking sound and if it's an easy fix?

Hello, good morning, mine also presented this noise the question was that the oil of the suspension had never changed and was about 65 thousand km, when I dismantled a small clearance on the bush / guide, I bought new in the Honda and it was as new so far at 93000km. 😃

if it was the bearings I would always do it.. in general it's the bushings... it can come with a defect.. is it under warranty? if yes, make a complaint...

I'm not sure what it might be, it's like a metallic clunk like metal hitting metal. I can't feel the clunk in the handle bar either, only hear it. The front forks have gotten pretty soft after 11k KM, think the problem might go away if I get the fork oil changed?
