The Other Clunk
While I had my bike up on the rack this weekend, I torqued up the steering head nut some and the other clunk (the one you get when you hit a bump) is now gone. The bike is an '05 Standard.

Hey Pat,
What did you torque it to? I had mine in for the 1000mi check up some time back and told them about the clunk, it was gone for about a 100mi. then back again. The nut is 1 1/2" isn't it? Bob

To be honest with you, I used a big crecent wrench and tightened up the nut about 1/8th of a turn. I didn't want to go rent a socket. From what I remember, people are torquing them to 70-80 ft/lbs.
