these are the noises that have just begun to come from my tora 302s. the clicking happens with the smallest of bumps, with lock out turned on even, as there is still some movement. This and the squelching noise occur not when the fork is pushed down or compressed or whatever you want to call it, but on it's return to normal position. Does anyone have any ideas what i should do?? the forks are about three months old and have not had heavy use

thanks

    sounds normal. the clicking is the valves working and the squelching is the oil moving.

    First real forks?

    first real bike! There was no noise at all though up until now...so this is normal, im not sure if the clicking is from the fork or the brake... but i think its the fork, The disc brakes are annoying me as they seem possible to properly align.

    thanks for your help :)

    just a thought check the headset does ne need a quick tighten, as things bed in they need tweaking. Also dont forget to get the first service does.
