    I got 2014 blade, every time I'm come to use it there is a "knocking" noise on front end which disappears after a good few miles...... The dealer reckons its the brake pads "bedding" in. Bare in mind its now done 1700mile....... It appears/sounds more like headstock.... Anyone else experienced this?????:confused:

    Hi there .. Does the knocking happen all the time ? and when you say it disappears after a good few miles is that each time you ride it

    I have this too, I thought something wasn't clamped up when I first used it so checked all the bolts lol.
    It disappears quite quickly though, I assume its something to do with cold oil???
