    Hello I'm after a bit of help.
    I thought I would check the front end of the bike and I noticed I had abitplay when pulling /pushing the bottom of the forks.
    But wasn't sure if it was coming from either the head stock bearings or the fork tubes.
    Any suggestions people

    Thanks Tony

    Bound to be head stock bearing depending on age of bike. If someone can rock the forks for you with wheel off the ground, you should be able to hear a knock sound around the head stem area.

    When I was push/pulling on the bottom of the forks it did look like it was the fork tubes that were moving, but going away for a week so when I get back I'll ask someone to check where the movement is coming from

    I have found out that I have a little movement in the fork tubes not the head stock
