My biggest problem has been traveling too much and not getting to ride her!

I had the sticky down shift in the beginning, but it cleared up around 1000 miles.

Not sure if you are being sarcastic? But shake shake rattle rattle.....does that not ring a bell lol. Without a damper my front end felt like it was going to fall off compared to every other bike I've been on. I was going to actually take it apart and see if I can change out that crush washer to something else...but doesn't seem like many people have had success with it. :( Back to tightening it every month!
