Exclamation ROCKER's problem...?

Hi to all,

Lately I hear a mysterious clicking noise from the front,when I break the front or bump into a hole in the street.Anything to do with the forks or the front suspension..?And the bike is brand new...just 1500 miles..!!I want to report and ask If anybody has the same problem.

Furthermore which is the best product for the wheels..?To polish them and avoid corrossion..?

Thank you.

Thats not a rocker problem,its a h-d problem. your neck bearings need re-torqued. Happens to a lot of bikes,its no big deal the dealer fixed mine for free. took about 15min and it hasnt been a problem since.also I use mothers polish and it works fine.

Do you have ABS? If so, "clicking" is from wheel speed sensor (WSS).
