I was goin down the highway the other day and finally got a clear path for a couple miles so i gunned it. Next thing i know im in third doin bout 120mph and the bike starts shakin on me. Does this happen to anybody else or is my bike messed up?

 

shaking is not a good thing - especially at high speeds. definitely have it checked out.

 

I heard that i might need a stearing stabilizer and that would maybe stop it. Is that common?

 

you got a 1000 right?

 

Does not sound good to me! You do not mention what bike you ride, but any modern super bike should be able to run 120mph with one hand on the bars. Start by checking tire pressure and also look for bad spots on the tyres. (uneven wear) Further have your suspension checked out, maybe there is a problem with the setup or even a shock that is faulty

 

yeah an 05 cbr 1k. only bout 3k miles on it

 

then it comes with a damper, and a pretty good one at that. yes you have some kind of problem, let the service guys check it out if your not up to par on your suspension knowlege my friend.

 

Seeing that it is a 05 CBR 1000RR, it sounds even more suspicious as the HESD should be able to sort out any shaking. Also have this checked out, but start with the more obvious like tyre and suspension setup as this is more than likely what the problem is.

I will also be posting some suggestions on suspension setup for track use and you can use this as reference to give your suspension a run over.

 

thanks guys. ill definetely check the tire pressure out and if that aint it im bringin it right back to the dealer and tellin him to fix it. scared the crap outa me goin that fast and then shakin. its smooth as hell up till i hit 120 then its shakin like a bitch. only had the thing for bout a month now so it better not be movin like this

 

Wow, I would say that's not normal; mine seems to get more stable the faster it goes...head to the shop and let them check it out....bad joke but I can't resist, are you sure its the bike and not you that are shaking? Just kidding, but the 1krr is serious thrill ride, guaranteed to get your blood pumping
