Are you sure everything is tight and that you don't have a blown damper? Ohlin's aren't very clunky in my experience.

Well they do come with pillow ball mounts, so its bound to have the clicking/clunking noise. Im gonna pull it off this weekend and check it, but just wanted to know if i can swap out the stock top mount to the ohlins.

The bearings in the Ohlins definitely wears out over time and will lead to that clunking. They're about $80ea to replace cause its a funky size, PSI usually have them IIRC. Ive looked for alternative sources but ~$15ea directly from china was as cheap as I could find but required 100 min order.

The part number is 05536-51
Looks like they run $115 so you might consider popping it out, getting the ID,OD, and thickness and ordering un unbranded bearing.

@FckingTrippy If you have the R&T MI-100s, the standardized bearing type number is MBWT-16. I got mine through RHDJapan (SKU 63423) at ~$42 each.
