Noises.

Two noises that I'm concerned about.

Going over large bumps, the front end of the bike clacks quite loudly when coming off the bump.

Also, higher RPM's, I hear some reasonably audible (albeit intermeittent) clicking from the top end of the engine.

Any ideas on either issue??

Steering head bearings?

Not sure about engine but cam chain comes to mind. Make sure the tensioner is functioning properly, check for chain wear, make sure the valve lash is correct.

Good luck.

The brake pads could be rattling about.
Sounds are hard for me to diagnose without hearing them.

You need to identify pretty quickly what that engine noise is at higher rpms. I suspect that it may be detonation caused through the mixture leaning out or incorrect ignition timing. If that's the case, your next surprise could be a hole in a piston.
As Chef has said, without hearing the noise, it's hard to positively identify it. Does it sound like marbles rattling in the top of the engine, or a more softer sound? Does it happen when the engine is under severe load (hard acceleration)?
