I just unboxed my new RadCity 5 Plus Step-Thru and all was well until I rode up onto the driveway from the street. It has a smooth surmountable curb but that was enough to cause a metallic clank noise. Upon investigation, the noise was caused by the nut holding the fender onto the fork arch impacting the fork's upper frame. Even with the pre-load set to max, there is metal to metal contact. When the suspension is locked, no noise. I took off the fender and it's attachment bolt, set the pre-load to about its middle setting, rode over the same course and experienced no noise. I also did not feel the suspension bottoming out. My weight is 190 pounds. RadPower agreed to send me a new fork (it's on backorder).
Has anyone else had issues with their RadCity 5 Plus Step-thru suspension fork?
