Fork chirp
When I shift the weight on my bike (like when shifting gears) my fork (or something in front of me)'chirps'
Has anyone out there experienced this?

Looks like neither of you have done anything about it...
I rode all summer with no problem, the last couple of times I took my bike out for a quick spin (winter is here but I just HAD to try out my new forward controls before putting her up for the season!) this damn CHIRP appeared.
Couldn't nail down the cause or place. It occurs when I use the clutch, when the gear engages, (a la Capt Woody) which is the light compression moment like what Dan describes, so I dunno.....
