[QUOTE="mdisher, post: 258847, member: 2724"] I as others have the decel head shake between 50-40 mph but it's not noticeable at all with both hands on the bars, only with hands off the bars really, and it's not enough to turn into a tank slapper. Have you (not a dealer but you): - Checked your head bearings? - Checked your wheel to make sure it's not bent? - Checked your wheel bearings? If you put it on the center stand, lift the front end, grab the forks, do you feel any play? What about the wheel? You're not too terribly far from me, I'd be happy to meet you, we could swap bikes and see if what you think you feel is normal or not. Might help to have someone else take it for a ride. -MD [/QUOTE]
