Update on front end noise.. (apologies for the delay..)
A couple of rides ago it developed a slight knock when coming to a halt using the front brake. I stripped the top yoke, greased bearings and rebuilt and tensioned the head races as per the manual, although no free play was apparent with it on the centre stand when the forks where checked. I even compressing the locking washer tabs. I also fitted a new Michelin front tyre. Fast forward too today... took the Fazer for its MOT (passed with a clean sheet) and low and behold the rattle has now gone.!..
Thanks for all the input and suggestions..
