Forks Clunking

[shinta86]

So, my front forks are clunking over every little bump I hit. What do I need to do to remedy this?

Thanks in advance.

Check fork oil/seals would probably be the first step.

Don't ride over every little bump 

I would also like you to define: clunking. Maybe something is making a noise and you just Think it's your forks. That's why definitions help.
Would you also tell us, how far up the fork the small dark line that goes all around the tube goes? - Unless your forks are absolutely spotless there will be a small line of grime.

Also check and make sure your gauges are held in tight - if the nuts behind them loosen up (or if you're missing the rubber washers) they will clack every time you hit a bump.

Your forks need rebuilt, there is probably no fluid in there from leaky fork seals.  Mine bottom out over bumps too and make that horrible clunking sound.  I need to order a set of sonic springs so I can rebuild mine and add my R6 shock.
