You will have to be specific about the sound and its source otherwise no one will be able to say for sure where and what is wrong. Loose cone set bearings generally make a 'TAK' sound and not "cling" sound. Both of these are vague terms in themselves so I think you should not jump to conclusions..
By the way that was a nice tutorial on how to replace the air filter. thanks.



shocked and brought the bike home, so first service is still pending.
