Hi Ian ..I had the same problem you speak of ,it turns out the solution
was the replacement of my shock cartridges , but I have the disc brake
fork which is different than the old system on the ambo. But it sure
dose sound like the same type of problem though.
Hey when should I expect to see you up in Timmins ??
Take car , Paul

jack
handy to get the front wheel off the ground. Without it it's hard for me
to
lift the front of the bike (as it is on the centerstand) and see if
there is
any play there.

As for the "bang". It's more like a "knock" when I hit a big bump. Like
something is hitting the top of the tubes. I have noticed it before
over
big bumps but it seems to happen more easily now. I wonder if the fork
tubes
have slid down? Don't the fork plugs hold them at the top though.

Time to get my Loop memory back :-) It's been a while since I was last
in
there.

Regards...Ian

Hey Ian,
Yup, real quiet. Grey, raining, about 40 degrees here in Detroit.
Beautiful
weekend here though.
Anyways, the very first thing that comes to mind are loose stering stem
locknuts.

What do you mean that it bangs when the springs hit the top of the
tubes?
Can't picture it.
