Hybrid forks rattling

in The workshop
Hi
I've just switched a stem riser from a Btwin to an Orbea. It fits fine but the forks on the Orbea are now rattling slightly at the crown.
Any ideas ?
And the Orbea doesn't feel as quick. It's lighter, which is great for the hills, but seems more effort than the Btwin

You need to tension the bearings correctly before tightening the stem clamp bolts .
put stem on but don't do up bolts
tighten vertical bolt - go to finger tight plus half a turn
apply front brake to make sure no forward/backward movement. if movement do 1/2 turn more until no movement.
make sure bars flick left to right with no issues
i then do a 1/4 turn extra for paranoia reasons but make sure all still flicks with no problem
then do stem bolts.
is it all clean? bike looks gopping in that other piccie you have posted?
is it the proper spacer than came with tbe headset?
I presumed it was the spacer which came with the bike; fiddly black plastic ring underneath it.
