Other then the noise, does it handle OK?  ???
 IF it ain't broke don't fix it.  ;)
 Its probubly a combo of things,  Shoes make alot of noise on warped roters, bottomed out forks make for a louse ride any way you look at it.  but if it dont feel like its floating in the corners, it might not be the springs, how about a stearing damper?   :P

I had some pretty heavy chatter into T1 at Jennings, even after getting off the brakes.  Tightened the steering head a bit, added a 1/4 turn of compression, and raised the ride height before it went away.  Thanks to Kent at GMD Computrack.  I recommend getting a pro to help you out.  Knocked another 1.5 secs off my times cuz I was more comfortable into the fast turns.  Just my .02.

may sound silly,but this happened to me too :o

is your front wheel balanced correctly, cause if its not, you will have chatter under braking. :-/

More than likely it was the front end rebounding too fast.  Either add more compression...which could make it a bit harsh.  Or thicker fork oil.  Don't worry....you'll see that problem again when your fork oil needs changing.  :)

Heres an update. Installed Emulaters, new tires, wheels balance. Much improved but still some chatter. Checked everything again, front wheel has a slight warp. I just picked up another wheel. I think this will be the fianl fix.
