Re: XR 50 Front Fork help

yea it sounds as though your fork bushings are worn out.stand above the bike but dont sit on it.hold the front brake tight and push forward on the bars but not down.if you can see the lower forks(chrome) flex back while the upper(gold)stays still it is definatly the bushings.

I got the nylon ones (brass are $10 more) and it cured the problem. Now I just need to get the slapping noise to stop when I hit bumps.
