Just purchased my 5th Harley. A 09 FXSTB. I love the bike, but have noticed the front end pogo's like a superball coated in flubber! It is not so noticeable at low speed / back road cruising, but at highway speeds it can be downright unnerving.
Anyone else out there experience this? I have had my fair share of bikes and never experienced this. I am going to make an assumption here and say there is a problem with the fluid level in my forks. I really hate to drain / refill forks on a bike that is less than 4 days old. Any suggestions / thoughts?
