Hey guys,

My 110 sounds clunky as I go over bumps in the road, I can feel it slightly under my feet but I'm not sure if it's reverberating from somewhere else.
No noises when pulling away, at speed or going around corners.
I've checked the steering rods/ends underneath, there doesn't seem to be any excessive play or ware. Only a very slight lower seal leak on the drop arm but the steering fine.
I'm taking it very easy over any uneven ground at the moment as it doesn't feel right.

Loose damper? Loose A frame to chassis bolts? Broken spring?

Don't be silly, tis the bicycle stuck in the chassis rails...

Have you checked your exhaust fittings?

Also check the shock absorber ends where the nuts are.

Bushes, front hockey sticks, rear trailing arms, both ends, shock mounts, A-Frame bushes, and mounts, in fact any loose bush can and probably will knock on uneven ground.

Could also be something silly, like a loose washer bottle, loose radiator or again,m anything loose that can flap about a bit, even a little bit!

Mine was the rear damper top bush badly worn. Take the weight of it and test.

On mine it was the front damper lower mountings and also the rear damper lower bushes.
Rears very easy to change, fronts more fiddly but not so bad.

I've solved the mystery! I don't know how I missed it first time but the bushes on both shock absorbers have completely disappeared, it's about time the dampers where changed so the whole suspension will be getting a revamp.
Thanks for all the suggestions guys!
