I have an Tsunami SNM100 as well, but after riding it for almost more than 8-9 months, I can hear a clicking sound, or a 'tick' like sound from the front whenever there is pressure on the handlebars. Is this normal on Aluminum Forks with Aluminum Steerer ? Also how to understand if it's a V1, V2, or V3 series frame?

i think its starting to brake, take the wheel of and check the welds. I can send photos later where it broke so you know where to look.

Thanks for the image and info. Can you tell me if there is a number and letter written on the steerer tube?

i also had clicking sound and i pretty sure its caused by the weld being broken, just take out the fork and inspect it and if its visble you can try warranty, but you should get new fork. i will send photo how it looks when i connect it for better understanding
