shake

So here’s my experience with the headshake issue on my 85. First the definition, let go the bars at 50, by the time I hit 45 the bars are shaking back and forth, by 35 they are shaking so violently that if you don’t grab them it will through your ass off! Tried everything including the Furber...

I got a set of All Balls head bearings and finally replaced the worn bits in my 1994 Vmax with much help of the forum wizardry. Thanks guys, really appreciate that. Before that I had to tighten the head slightly to tackle the wobble I was struggling with at >100mph with no or partial load...

i had the weirdest experience the other day. i was riding in the rain at 45mph. right hand on the bars and went over a bump. bike started to head shake pretty good. i thought it would stop but after a a couple of seconds it didn't. when i put my left hand back on the bars, it went away...

Temps today in MI reached close to 80 degrees, so I got a chance to do a nice shake down run. Me and Tom ( Bee keeper ) managed to pull off a perfect 200 mile ride today! Just got my bike out of storage Thursday and was blessed today with summer like temps, we hit some nice no traffic back roads...

Well my 2004 finally shook the bars hard enough to get my attention today on the way home from work. It happened as I changed lanes and encountered an uneven section between the two lanes at about 65 mph. Luckily a hand full of throttle lightened the front end enough to regain composure. I have...

I took my 2000 Max out for the first time today. I've never ridden one of these beasts before and I'm amazed at how much power it has! It kicks ass! The only problem I have is that when I'm doing over 40mph and take 1 hand off of the bars they start to shake back and forth. My Nighthawk...

let me start by saying i tried to search.. but all i find is 90-100mph or less than 30mph shakes... i got this bike from my dad, and his friend told me that it shakes badly at about 60mph...says the front wobbles and is scary to be on bike is salvaged, my dad bought it new and got t-boned with...

2005 Vmax 19,000mi UFO VGAS and Exhaust, Dyna 3000 Ign. My bike ws running fine, and then after a short ride in the rain. I parked her in the garage overnight. Got on her the next day and she stalled three times at some red lights. It would give me a problem starting, but then would fire up...

My '01 Max has a bad front end wobble. My bike has 24,000 miles on it and the front tires does need to be replaced. I've owned two V-Max motorcycles, and I know the nature of the front end wobble --it "goes with the turf." However, my current wobble is worse than "normal" and am wondering if...

The weather has been cooperating so I'me getting some milage built up on my bike. Even marked my "turf" in front of work with a nice stripe. However, on the highway starting to kick in between 100-110 I'm getting head shake. Bloody hell, This thing has less then 50 miles on it. so last...

Hey guys, I just bought a 98 max, and when I took it out on the road the other day, the handel bars seem to shake like back and forth more than I would like, especially when going over small bumps. I heard that maybe I need to replace the stem bearings or re-pack them. Could it be anything else...
