Slight free play in forks

[400_racer]

Hi all,

Just had the front wheel out of the gasser looking at bearings and brakes and noticed a small amount of free play in the forks.

Not between the triple clamps and fork body, but between the body and chrome tube. When you hold the fork body with one hand and push/pull from the axle mount with the other hand, you can hear it knocking, but its only moving very slighly, more the knocking which makes it stand out.

Is this anything that should urgently be looked at? Any ideas what it might be? Was hoping to go out for a ride tomorrow having finally (or seemingly!) fixed the things up with it since buying it

Thanks,
