my bike handle bars shake left and right when i am going about 85 and above. was wondering if anyone else had this problem. i am not sure if i need a steering damper or if i need to tune my suspension. i weigh about 230 any info would be great thanks

 

has your bike ever been wrecked before ?

 

no i bought it from a guy and he said it had been dropped at a stand still but noothing else, clean title

 

I had a very slight vibration in the front end. I had never even really noticed until I let an experienced friend ride my bike. and he asked why
I had the shimmy in the front end? we took the front tire off and put it on a balancer, and you could see a slight "warp" in the front rim. it was barely
out of true. I sent it off to a place in Michigan to get straightened, cost about $150 or so, no more shimmy

 

i had bad handlebarshake letting go of the bars at high speed on two bikes, one turned out to be cupped front tire and the other on a 599(hornet) shop put on wrong size tire.

 

I don't know how bad it is, but try and make sure you have the OEM bar ends in place or pick up a pair.....IIRC they are weighted and help reduce the vibrations in the handlebars
