I had a new genuine Honda bearing fitted to my 2003 ST1300 about a year ago. Since then my bike has developed an annoying front end rattle. Last week I had the bike serviced and asked the mechanic to rectify the problem which he did by tightening it. After a short test ride all seemed fine and smooth but then I went for a 400 Kl run on the weekend and on the way home the rattle started to manifest itself once again. Has anyone else had this problem and can give me a solution'
when I travel over a rough section of road I hear a "CLUNK CLUNK RATTLE RATTLE RATTLE" :beer

:-[ :eek It sounds like the bearings weren't seat correctly the first time they were fitted, this has happened to me with a previous bike.
I had to adjust the bearing tension at least twice before they seated properly. :thumb

Agree with that. bearing races need to be installed and driven all the way in, then torqued up correctly. Adjusting it a few times should do the trick.
