Front end Clunk?

[Eisenfarn]

Hi guys, Getting a clunk from the front end sometimes on braking and on some deep ish potholes. Had a few headstock bearings let go on a few bikes, feels a bit like that, but surely not after only 5k?

It may be the headset is loose.

Highly likely. I've had headsets come loose on new bikes.

I would check front brake clunk first, I had braking clunk on front brake and rear starting 10K
but you can do a little test, when engine off and bike in neutral, roll bike couple inches and brake front and hear it, do same while rolling backwards a few inches, if its disc you would hear it from front,

this disc rotors clunks is because of bad quality, they wear out very easy. develop excessive play and starts clunking

Also check the brake pad anti-rattle spring is in place. If that is missing there will be clunking aplenty.

Headset came loose on mine, same symptoms you are describing.
Easy check and fix
