It might also b caused by mismatching friction and steel materials of the clutch plates, if not oil in a dry clutch.Well I took the bike for a good blast today, and the front end felt no better if not worse. So I removed the Icon shocker, pushed up and down on the bars again with no shock absorber and the forks feel great. So I have reinstalled the AVO and just leave it at that, as I think taking more off the springs is definitely not necessary. With the lighter weight of the bike verses a twin, it seems as though it is more sensitive to the restriction of heavy damping............I have an original Armstrong which is much lighter in its action on the rebound, so I might even try that as an experiment. This bike has enough power that the Conway's Honda clutch can barely hold the torque even after I shimmed up the springs...........Does anyone know if stronger ones are available.........?
Possibly a talk to textar or ferrodo people will bring you forward. On Ernst´s Comet racer, I can change gear
full throttle without closing the gas, if in eager. It really jumps forward, even from third to fourth. And it´s
not a Laverda clutch, very light operation!
