[QUOTE="Skully, post: 265812, member: 845"] Hey Rock, what kind of weight are you putting on the bike? does it shake when you strip off the bags? have you got a shake regardless total weight? i can say i have this front end problem on my 05 and so do a number of other fjrs from what i've heard. my bike is only bad when it's loaded now...with the pilot roads that is. With the brand new Avon 45/46 combo the bike shook wildly at 45-50. had shake b4 and after hand guards btw. the z4s never shook. ppl don't bother to post on this problem imo...not having the shake bad enough, not wanting to get engulfed in endless minutiae and some have been around long enough to know the penalty for calling the tires that the ruling class sleeps with ugly. it's true that much has been posted in the past...unfortunately, when searching the forum for related posts there is a remarkable density of useless banter generated by little boys getting a good giggle at posts like "head shake"...and other subterfuge. for my bike it's now a matter of weight. i keep it to a minimum. i can do that, i know some folks can't. but a light bike is a faster and better handling bike, so i work at it like i'm lowering take-off weight. i inflate the front tire 2lbs to 4lbs higher than recommended and it helps quite a bit. Aggressive riding?...naughty boy. Apologize and ask for a pink Vespa. Shakes [/QUOTE]
