clunk in the front of my bike - fireman99 - 01-12-2009

wonder if anyone has had this problem, when i go over a reasonably sized hole in the road or a bump my front end seems to bottom out on one side and has a loud clunk,i have covers over my front brake calipers and I noticed that the top is getting chipped, just above the brake covers is a extension arm for my front shock covers it's about 1/2'' above the covers but has never hit it before, i had the front forks done about 4 years ago , was wondering if anyone has ever had this and do you think that i t might be the forks needing done again

2 things come to mind. 1 is you might want to change fork oil to ensure you have the proper amount in each fork. 2 is check the TRAC anti dive settings. Make sure both are set the same and you might want to adjust the setting a notch stiffer.
