So with the season going away for us northerners, there is a bit of a question about my ironhead that is kind of getting to me:
its a 77xlt, The "lurching" is a problem when im off the throttle, basically whenever I let off the gas regaurldless of what gear im in, Im getting a lurching/jerking from the bike. It makes "coasting" (without pulling the clutch) near impossible.
the biggest problem is approaching corners at low speed without ingaging the clutch, when I do this the bike will kind of fall all over its self and makes it all but impossible to go thru a corner or a straight line for that matter without the jerking/lurching to an exaturated extent. to the point I will HAVE to pull in the clutch or gas all the way through (which I cant do when Im coming to a stop) I've been basically having to find nutral (way early) or ride the clutch whenever Im doing non throttle activities.
I know that the Ironheads have a bit of that by nature, but not to this extent (I dont believe). Otherwise the bike runs great, and it doesnt stall or quit, and has great throttle recognition.
Soooo....Is this my life with this Ironhead or am I missing something here?
