In addition, one side of the front is far more worn and scrubbed than the other, which makes me think this could be an internal fork problem.
Whilst an uneven wear mark can be indicative of faulty forks, bents frame, badly aligned rear tyre ect. I've been reliably informed by an old motor cycle mechanic that I'm not the demon on the round abouts I thought I was, or, so fantastic on right hand bends I can wear one side of my tyre faster than the other, but, it's just the camber of the road always putting more pressure on the right hand side of the tyre
I was only 21 and boasting how often I scrapped my pegs on the Hambrook round about. Felt a bit stupid when he put me in my place

Yep, that makes sense. I will change the oil though as it must be about due again.
Yeah I've got mine to do too. Bit of a leak from one of the forks, so I may as well measure the spring lengths and make sure both the fluid levels are the same. I always pore the old oil into a jug so I can have a look for crud in the bottom too. Very quick guideline to see if there is excessive wear or another problem on the way.
Good luck with that.

My new ride is a bit of a Howler and I love to make her Squeal
Replaced the fork oil yesterday and the clicking sound has all but gone. There was the right quantity of oil, but it does lose viscosity over time.
Can still feel a slight "tapping" under heavy front braking although there is no discernible play at all in the head races. May whip the top yoke off for a quick look.
