Clunk mid way through fork compression
I was just sitting on my XTR in the garage wishing my legs were longer (!) and started bouncing the front of the bike, which I've only had a fortnight. I noticed that there's a clunk from the forks in the middle of the compression stroke. It's not a bang like bottoming out, and the forks do continue to compress, but there's an obvious clunk. Is this normal? I'm sure I've not noticed it on previous bikes...

Are you sure it's not the pads shifting in the calipers. The pads shift fore and aft on their mounting pins a little and make a clunking sound which resonates through the fork legs and can sound like dodgy forks. My XTZ makes a noise from the calipers when you bounce it holding the front brake on. Try chocking the front wheel against a wall with a block of wood and bounce the front to rule out any clunking and clanking from the brake.
