Fitting a steering damper

Mr Gazza · 01-04-2024, 07:16 PM

I tried it, but it just made the steering stiff and wasn't needed, so I just used to have it tight enough to not fall off, which unfortunately it did one night, hitting my knee as it flew.
I never did find the knob, which was the proper AJS one with the badge moulded in.

Thought I might need it when I put a chair on but I knew how to track it properly, so didn't even need it for that.

My 900 used to aviate sometimes under hard acceleration but didn't wobble until it twitched touching back down again, which is when I realised it had been in the air.

I've had the measure of it for years though and seem to manage the throttle better.
