Title: ok mounted new venoms, bike is better than on the dunlops.... but it shakes,
Post by: Dan on June 26, 2011, 08:35:28 PM

4k and above, but strongest at 4 k,
If I give a half inch from my palms to see how smooth she is I get a violent shake, more so if decelerating...

Sort of a tank slapper,, if it were on a sport bike...

So I am going to take the front in for a computer balance, we used a gravity balancer...  got it real close...

I also remember a thread about tightening the steering baring??  Anyone have that thread../?  Thanks guys, will let u know gonna get her balanced Monday morning leaving on Wednesday for out WEST, PARTNER KEEPS PUSHING THE DATE.....BACK...  Ok talk to u guys ltr..

Or don't take both hands off the bars.....  ::)

Socket don't work! You'll have to tap the nutt tight with a screwdriver or get the correct spanner wrench.

Thanks T.

I simple tapped that bolt less than 1/4 turn and it is solid now..  I mean hands free runnin true, no shake from 8 to 4 k....  tires are great, valves adjusted, h way pegs on, clearview with wing vent on it, and a go cruise..  Now can she do 3.5k in the next two weeks??
cleavland, milwaukee, to somewhere on 090, to yellowstone, and possible boulder, or across 94, and then down to sd....

Cleveland, Cleveland, as in OH? Stopping for the night? Well. anybody smart doesn't stop in Cleveland for the night right? ;D Stop over and I'll buy the beverages. Minutes from I-90. Good luck if you are just passing through. BTW, you might get into some big traffic right downtown on I-90, they are replacing a bridge, hopefully they'll send you around on I77 and I-490, if not, one lane.
