There is a recall on the '15 4cs forks...I believe it is from the fork caps not being tightened to the piston rod. It is not supposed to affect the USA models.
So, the forks are the USA model and as new. When applying the front brakes and compressing the forks, there is knocking noise. I thought at first it was a loose steering stem (which is what it kinda sounded like), then some wiring under the headlight hitting the plastic, but finally traced it down to the forks.
I took them off and compressed them onto the carpet and sure enough, they make a clunking noise when transitioning from up to down movement.
This will happen at the very top of the stoke cycle as well as mid. I would compress them half way and then move them back and forth and you could here some sort of knocking noise in them...it sounded like up toward the top, but its hard to tell. And then they would make the same noise from fully extended to being compressed.
Does anyone have the 4cs forks they could hold the front brake on and push the fork and see if there is a clunking or knocking noise on the up to down transition.
The recall said the knocking started around a couple hours. These forks are as new, so they shouldn't have even had time to have any problems yet.
Thanks in advance.
