RE: Front-End Clunk Fixed
Sorry this isn't a concrete answer to your question, but...
I would think that if you did the fall away test as described in the manual and your front end performs with the specs given, you should not have the clunk. This is assuming your greased bearings, races, and stem are in good shape.

So is doing the fall away check the correct way totroubleshoot this "clunking" issue?

Mine happens when I hit a certain type of quick dip in the road.
It does not happen every time, but when it does you will know it.
There is a dip on the little road I work on. If I hit it at around 30mph or less, it happens every time. Any faster andit does not do it.

RE: Front-End Clunk Fixed
I do sometimes get a clunk. I can't tell where it's coming from though. The dealer said they're going to do a fall away check for me, under warranty. This is why I was asking. Even if they find nothing, atleast the fall away check portion of the 1k service I've been doing, on my own, gets done for free...
