Hi All,
I'm not sure grouse are in season yet, so check your state regs...
My '72 Ambo feels pretty sloppy in the front end...sometimes good bumps
really jolt the bike. I rode my friend's 2001 Jakal and the difference is
night an day ( although the ambo sounds much better).
I realise that the is thirty years of technology at work here-but would like
to get a better ride. The rear shocks are progressives installed in 1995...
but the front forks have had the oil changed but nothing else.
I'd like to hear any advice and from those that have experimented with new
springs... I see there are dutch stiffer fork spings for sale at $150...Yet
Dave Richardson notes in Guzziology that these (original guzzi) forks were
far from the best- and he's yet to find a played out fork spring...
MAny Thanks for your input.
Noel McCormack
'72 Ambo
