i've got a shimmy at the top of 2nd gear, and then from about 85-110.... i kno i kno... i want to get a steering stabilizer, but i can't afford one right now.... what exactly is this guy talking about...??

"blades dont need dampenders usually, the problem with the loose front can be sorted by tightening the head stem bearings. I dropped my forks 5mm through the clamps and tightened the head bearing and the thing is brilliant now. "

 

I had the same problem on my VFR, at 50 through 70I had some head shake.Turnes out my rear tire was cupped. Newtire and every thing went back totrue and stright.

 

first of that dudeseems like a retard
929 are famous for head shake and twitchy front ends
and it is possible your head bolt is loose,make sure that with spec,then make sure your front tires/bearing are in good order,and remeber a shim in the front can e cuased by a problem in the rear
what hes talking bout droppin them through,is that he loosened the upper and lower triples and pushed his forks through them 5mmm then retightened


by shim is it hopping up and down or side to side???

 

ignore

 

+1 i agree to 929 and 954 are known for headshake, the best way to get rid of it is get a damper. No matter what you do these bikes frames are easily upset. Just watch ebay like a hawk you can find good deals. I got mine on a 929 for $125.
