    Hi Guys,
    Need your help....
    I have Yamaha R15..i fell off recently but it was not much of a fall but my bike is giving me a "kit kit" sound from front tyre whenever i drive at slow speed at around 20 or 30 kmph and hit a steep pothole or any sharp breaker..first of all the mechanic at adarsh yamaha delhi kept on saying that this is normal sound but once i got furious he checked everything from fork allingment to shocker springs..got everything checked..still getting that noise..i am told at workshop that they've ordered for new shockers and would try mine with them...guys if anyone has ever faced of facing such issue please let me know..

      Check the race and cone set. Get the steering stem bolt tightened, and report back.

          Yep,really sounds like a loose con-set or a damaged race bearing kit(though damage is impossible this soon).
          Ask them to check if the cone set has lost its groove...you can lathe it if that the case.
          Smoke rubber,not tobacco.
