Sprint GT Strange Front End Noise

When out for a ride this morning i noticed the Bike making a strange noise. When you rock it back and forth and hold on the front brakes its making a crunching clunking noise. Brakes are all secure the headstock seems fine its just weird. Could it be the floating discs moving and is it normal??

Video of it:

Any thoughts as normal much appreciated

 

Another video of it, hard to show but im rolling forward and banging on the front brake.

 

Strange on the videos I also can’t access from my phone. Will have to investigate I definitely made them public.

What sites other than YouTube do folk use for uploading videos on forum?

Cheers I will check the discs as you suggest.

 

Are videos working now?

 

Got the wheel off the ground as you suggested and i hear the knock as i pulll and push on the front wheel.

Its not the discs and all the clamps are tight. Head stock feels fine so maybe its the fork bush then? These were replaced only a few hundred miles ago looks like another set then.

Where is good to buy them?

 

What would the steering head need a tighten or is new bearings?

Cheers for the help

 

I took the front wheel off and the forks seem fine, there does seem to be some play at the head stock. It looks like two locking nuts that i take it you knock round to tighten with a hammer and chisel or screwdriver would that be correct?

Found this

 

Forks seem fine, its done 21K miles. I will go and have a look at the head bearings.

 

Bearings and races are all fine, was needing a good clean up but both top and bottom bearings are cleaned and greased. Now its the trying to tighten them without the tool. Has anyone done this before? To get the 40nm force to seat the bearings is there anyway to gauge this? I have tighter them a little still free left to right on the handle bars and there isnt the movement i was getting at the start however i think i will look to get the tool to allow me to put the correct torque on them unless anyone has some ideas on how to do this with a hammer and screwdriver.

 

Think i wil order one of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Triumph-...880220?hash=item1c2f31d8dc:g:9AkAAMXQ~6VQ8qBn

 

Thanks for all the help folks and posting up the page from the manual very helpful.

I will get the tool ordered and tighten them properly next weekend.

 

Yep it steers fine and no wobble, odd since they do appear the culprit. Everything else was nice and tight brakes and all bolts.

 

All good, it was the steering head.. ordered the correct tool torqued to 40nm seat the bearings the release and back to 15nm

All good and new front white indicator lenses fitted
