Author Message   Noone1569 Posted on Monday, June 28, 2010 - 01:21 pm:        Hey guys, I've been trying to find answers to my issue through search and haven't been so lucky. I've read up on some suspension stuff and believe that I am setup right but am still experience this issue. Bike: 05 XB12R - Jardine can is only real mod. Issue: Nasty and severe headshake/vibration between 50 - 60 mph. After 60ish it seems to die down and become more stable, but it is almost scary in this spectrum. If I take my hands off to bars (not that I advocate this, but I tried to see what was happening) severe headshake develops at this speed and also tapers off as speed progress. It is scary; the bike feels extremely unstable. Checked: Tire Pressure Suspension Setup Isolater -no dice.   Midnight_rider Posted on Tuesday, June 29, 2010 - 04:41 pm:        have you ever changed steering stem bearings?
