Is it a creaking noise or a thumping noise?

It's probably something in your suspension, but others will have better infor for you.

or a rattle-like noise like something is loose? Could be worn shock mount bushes. Common problem that annoys newcomers to the used xr market.

I'm wondering if this is the same as the issue I'm having. I have an 04 XR6T and when I go over a bump (even a small bump) I can hear a rattle like sound in the suspension if I have the windows down. I did notice that when I apply the brakes (even ever so slightly) the noise goes away. If it's one thing I hate, its a rattle so any feedback would be appreciated.

Cheers

what about the hand brake?

Try pulling the handbrake up 2 clicks when going over heaps of those little bumps..

I once had those little arms on the inner side of the rear brake rotor that actuates the handbrake tap against the rotor dust shield.

Turned out my cable was a little on the loose side allowing the handbrake arm to shake around and tap sh*t.

I tried slowly pulling up the handbrake while driving along and hearing the rattle and I got up to 4 or 5 clicks before I heard a thump from the back (I think as the hand brake engaged suddenly) even though I was only pulling it up very very slowly. I wonder if that whole mechanism is loose. Might jack it up and have a wiggle over the next few days.

I thought I'd go and have a bit of a feel around for any loose parts around the wheels etc. I chocked the front wheel and released the handbrake. I then tried to move the brake calliper and it did move and upon doing so it made a noise at the extremities of the movement. I then proceeded to check the front calliper to see if it had the same movement and it seemed to move even more and make even more noise when I wiggled it. Is this normal? Should there be movement like this from the brake calliper?
