Although mine was not totally unresponsive it moved VERY LITTLE under my
225+ and someone suggested there was a binding restriction.
I loosened the axle pinch bolts and it immediately bounced MUCH MORE
freely. I worked it like that for several minutes and after changing the
fork oil and retightening it was like a regular 'spongy' Ambo front end.
It might be worth the few minutes time.

Hey guys, got a couple of questions. I was complaining to a friend the other day about how I thought my brain might rattle out of my head if I rode my ambo for too long. He suggested I might want to change the oil in my fron forks, maybe use atf to clean them out. I'm not sure how stiff they should be, but I cant get them to move at all when I push down on the handlebars with all my weight, admittedly only 130lbs. Looking at guzziology and the chiltons manuel it doesn't look real easy to do anything with the forks. How do I check and see if they are ok, and what can I do about it if they aren't ok? The other question, when I got my bike the bolt on the shifter return adjust screw was not tightened down against the trans case and I couldn't get the bike to shift into 1st. Took me a while to figure out the problem. Shifts ok now, but I need to down shift before I stop or it's hard to get into 1st or neutral. Is this as good as it gets or should I experiment more with the adjustment? Thanks, Duffy Pappas c'ville, va 69 ambo |
