Some Minor Issues to Sort
Laverdaroo:
Undo that bottom bolt and just pull the lower off the stantion that will beleft in the forks. You willneed to set the air gap on reassembly or the oil amount so it might be easier just to take them out the yolks its far easier. I would.
Oddjob:
Don't forget to renew the copper washer on the lower socket bolt.
If you remove the forks entirely, loosen off the bottom bolt first, whilst the fork tubes are firmly clamped by the yokes, same for the top nut, loosen off or you'll struggle getting it loose afterwards.

OK, thanks.

Re the tramping - Over tightened head stock bearing?
Martin6:
Thanks for the suggestion. I have checked that. It was over-tightened, which affected low speed turns, but that doesn't seem to be the issue. Unless the bearings are past it. However, now loosened off a touch, and front end off the ground, the steering moves from side to side without notchiness.
I am very puzzled by this. I even suspected a slight weave and wobble at the front. I re-seated the tyre, then replaced it. The wheel is true and so is the new tyre.
I still have an irregular lumpiness through the bars. Not vibration. It's like I'm constantly running over compacted mud, until I get to 55/60mph. It doesn't seem related to engine revs.
