Hi Sture,

I've already heard that sound when (trying) to follow a friend with his
XR250 in a very very bad path. I've a look at the internal schema of the
fork. For me, the sound should be produced by the tube hitting the bottom
of the fork arm (the female part, don't know the official term). The other
possibility is the springs reaching full compression. But I believe this
would not produce that neat metalic "clakk".

Pierre

PS: I tried the figure on your picture (sliding AT) with the XR of my
friend, as you suggested. Well ... the three attemps all finished on the
ground. And we spend half an hour in the workshop refitting the foot step
:-(
