Doing a spot of maintenance, and noticed that I had a slight play in front fork forward / aft movement. Probably about 1/2" movement at the wheel with the front end jacked up. The play seems to be mainly from where the upper and lower part of the forks join, with minimal play in the head stock bearing. Can somebody shed some light on this? Is this a normal wear and tear symptom? Planning on changing oil to higher viscosity in the interim as it has never been changed. (2000 ST1100 ABS/TCS)
I cleaned and greased HS bearing this year, with the intent of replacing with taper roller bearings this winter. I never noticed the play in the forks then, but that doesn't mean it wasn't there.
Thanks folks
Regards Ian
