[QUOTE="Nateskate, post: 652488, member: 18050"] I had tapered bearings installed today. Six weeks ago I had new tires put on. Noticed a head shake on the way home. I took it back to the dealer who had put the three sets of tires on to get rid of it. It shook mostly from 50 to 40 on decell. I didn't trust the dealer or his balancer so I took it elsewhere. They re-balanced the front wheel and installed the bearings. They also changed my suspension settings. The head shake is gone but now the bike feels less secure... like the center of gravity has been raised. Did they screw up the suspension or leave the bearings too loose? How can I check the bearing torque? What's the best way to set up the suspension? Also the tech inflated the Storms to 36 and 38. I told him the bike called for more but it was his opinion to under-inflate. What say you? [/QUOTE]
