Hi Noel,
experienced the same behaviour wih my 1970 V7 Special, the identical
European model.
Just put in 30 grade fork oil and it is ok since. Worth a trial.
ciao Johann

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.
