While navigating the urban jungle of northern New Jersey with my new Capo in the past couple of days I noticed that rolling with the clutch engaged in 1st or 2nd gear (as when you are approaching a stopped vehicle) produces a bouncy movement in the front forks as if the ADD system was trying to decide which damping level to apply. Kind od rhythmic, so it doesn't seem to correlate with road imperfections. Am I dreaming or has someone else encounter this? As soon as I release the clutch thebouncing disappears.
 
Probably the bike is just hunting for fuel. Common thing with fuel injected v twins.
 
Mine doesn't do that, I usually pull in the clutch on slow junctions, just seems to fit me better. One thing, if you keep the clutch pulled in does the front go solid? As it does if the ignition is on but the engine not started!
 
Have not experienced the front going solid, but pulling the clutch does smooth things out.
