I need the collective experience of the Buell faithful.
I had a major service performed after 14.5k trouble free miles on my 08 XB12X. 1500 miles later it started to make a very loud click in the fork area both on compression and on rebound. Almost like there was some kind of catch or snag that clicked on the down and up at a point. I noticed it under hard braking.
I can duplicate without difficulty, it is very consistant. My local dealer, CPO Harley/Buell here in Stuttgart worked on the issue. They had two techs rocking the bike back and forth while a third used the stethoscope to try and isolate the "Click". They eliminated the caliper and the brake disc, they double checked and eliminated the steering head bearings, as well as a plastic bit related to the fender or motor mount. The consensus was that one or both of the fork springs were "bowing" under compression and clanging against the inside of the fork tube, they said there was a bulletin on the Dyna that said not to worry about it. This does not explain the same click during rebound, and I am not convinced.
If need be I might be able to video the condition and post for all to work on the teaser. I am hoping that people have seen this before and can offer a better place to start besides take it apart and reassemble, then see if it persists. There are about 5 of us over on Badwebb that have the exact problem, with no real solution as of yet.
Thanks, I hope it is obvious to somebody
