Okay, bumped the air pressure of my front tire up from 34 psi to 38 psi at 70F (rear is at 40 psi).
I went for a fourty mile ride to get me a good cigar, my impression with the increased air up front:
Bike feels more nimble...... almost TOO nimble at around-town speeds.
Front-end didn't wag, wiggle, or shake when I took my hands off the handlebars. I did this in several different modes, to include different gears & different speeds, and different rates of engine braking. The little Bonnie' tracked straight & true...... so in my glee, and to celebrate my excitement, I dropped her down a gear, goosed it, and began to ascend a small hill with RR tracks up top...............
JEEZ! Danm near lost her to a wiggle, wanted to give me a head shake!?!?!?!?!
Turns out the surface up top where the RailRoad tracks lie, is...... well, IT AIN'T A SMOOTH PIECE OF SURFACE!!!!
So what'er gonna do? On the way home, I sought out irregular surfaces to get a feel for what she wants to do. This is what I concluded:
It feels like a harder tire with it's increased air pressure, is almost a bit TOO skittish for the Hagon progressive springs and the 20 weight fluid called for 'em. I wanna take her out on some high speed country sweepers and see what she does before I back off on the prescribed 38 psi.
Actually, this is kinda fun; hope I'm learning some'n from it all!
