Hi everyone,

I wonder if anyone has had experience with an S1 starting to shake at higher speeds? My handlebars start to shake and front wheel wobbles when I approach 160 km/u - 100 MPH after where I have to reduce speed at 180 km/u 110 MPH or risk a face plant into the road.

I've removed the custom windshield and am riding naked. I've been experiencing more of a shale when its windy (from a certain angle).

If it's nothing with the alignment of the wheels or windscreen would a steering dampener help?

Thanks in advance!

i changed my front tire and tightened the front end up with it on the lift. i was experiencing slight wobbling at anything over 80mph.. after loosening all the pinch bolts and front axle (and re tightening them) wit the bike standing up on the ground the wobble went away.

Be sure your forks are adjusted equal left to right... Preload and rebound.

i dont think thats possible on a s1. one side is dampening and the other rebound?
