Handlebar makes a slight cracking noise?
Hello everyone
I have a KTM Duke 125 2020 run almost 7K and I'm worried about the handlebars. Every time I brake hard the handlebars crack and as soon as I release the brake they crack again. Has something slipped?
Thank you in advance

so directly on the steering there is nothing that can crack.
The next of the components – where a crack can occur – would be the bearing of the fork bridge – after that would only be at the bottom of the fork.
But where it cracks – you should describe it more precisely
Make the front wheel brake and press forward several times (for the fork to dip-but press forward and then it goes down automatically) .
if you are still looking at the upper fork bridge – below is the bearing shell The fork bridge can only rotate – not move back and forth – no millimeter – now keep your finger on pressing On fork bridge and frame/bearing shell – if something moves forward and back, you found the mistake.
Thanks for the quick answer to the topic exactly describe my suspicion is that cracking from the component comes where the handlebar bar lifts
Have you ever made a wheelie with your duke? If so, I can tell you exactly where the problem comes from…
2-3 times but actually quite gently came back
2-3 times, so…
Go to the workshop. You'll be wondering what caused your 2-3 wheelies so at cost… 😱
But you don't mean the noises of the strong braking caused by the ABS when it triggers or the brake re-engages…? Was the sound from the beginning?
