Have you checked your headstock since the bearings were replaced. What you are describing sounds like a loose headstock. The bearings may have settled and need a bit of tightening.

After a while the new bearings will settle, meaning another nipup is needed...
Put your front brake on at standstill & push the bars hard back & forth - any major play will show up as "clack" in the headset... or get a ratchet strap around the headstock & a garage roof beam & raise the front end up.
Id agree with that defenatly brake disc knakeredOriginally Posted by Scotty
yeah, ask JD, he may have something nice and sticky :-)
whats on there at the mo? is it "triangled" off???....
when you buckled the wheel, was there a MAJOR impact? i have known another GSXR thats broken a fork spring before through a front smack, handled like a sick pig... :-(
it does sound like you have a buckled disk tho, ride up the road and really gently apply the brakes, can you feel it pumping back to the lever? or grabbing and letting go of the disk?..
there is something i ahve noticed..............sometimes (not everytime) when i am on the brakes i get a click....but then sometimes i think the click was when i turned the bars...i cant determine where it comes from because it only happens every so often. im pretty skint atm so new discs are off agenda......so the bike is just sitting there because i aint gonna ride it.
oh and the front tyre is a maxxis sport mate..........never liked it tbh but if there is another problem i cannot outright blame the tyre
click noise could be the pads moving just a weee bit in the caliper when they contact the disk, or it could be a broken spring.....
very very uncommon to break a spring tho....
was it the same tyre that you buckled the wheel with???...if so it needs changing VERY sharpish!....
some times you cant even see the damage to the tyre...
pop on over, il have something that you can have cheap...
