2012/13 owners are you getting this clicking

Is anyone with a 2012/13 getting this clicking clunking noise over bumps. My honda dealer say they cant hear it. They have checked the head stock bearings I think its from the forks. Is it normal for bpf. I cant believe it is it sounds like something is broken. In the video it does it at 4.26 and 5.10. I found this video of someone else with same problem he has not found a solution either. Warranty runs out soon so I need to know whether to persist.

Thanks

My 2012 model is fine - not noticed any issues - and there are plenty of bumps around the Yorkshire Dales!

 

Mine makes that noise when going off my drive - always done it and seems normal.

 

Does it do it when you hit a bump on the road mine does it throughout the journey

 

It has be a 'down' bump but yep I thought it seemed to sound harsh but both of my 12's have made the noise. Apart from that the suspension is sublime compared to the 2007 & 2010 I've had

 

I've got 2012 BPF fitted on my 2011 blade - got the same noise as on the video but I only notice it at the start of the ride. I either get used to it or it goes as the oil warms up - don't think its anything to worry about. I had a SV650 a few years back you should hear the noise the forks made on that - caused by the oil locking up the suspension over certain bumps.

 

Yea the clunking is a common thing with the BPF's

 

Get it on mine too,was told it's a BPF thing.

 

Yeah mine does it as well, didn't do it from new, just started about a month ago, sounds like it's bottoming out, when it hits a bump !

 

So it sounds like this is normal and they all do it that puts my mind at rest but I don't think its very good

 

Can't say I've noticed mine do it?

Will have an extra good listen next time I'm out, if indeed there is a next time this side of next spring?

 

Yep mine is like it as is every other RRC I've ridden.

 

God I must 'kin deaf. Couldn't hear anything over the lovely noise of the exhaust Good advert for this exhaust slip on - I'll add it onto the list. The bike goes over bumps at c2:30 & 2:40 into the VT & def couldn't hear anything unusual.

 

Same here, although mine do click also. I think it is the plastic pre-load piece that is hitting the inner stanchion when the shock is off load.

 

Same here.

 

Wa out yoday, didnt hear owt, but then again cant hear anything with the growler on
