Did some endos yesterday and I started getting headshake. I know you're thinking it happens to everyong, get a damper. Ok, but these were girly little garbage endos. First gear, 100 foot run up, goin maybe 30 mph.

When i get the shake, im no where close to balanced. I did some little ones that only roll 20 feet and i got the shake every time. This wasnt hapening last week.
I went to a different spot with the best pavement around, same problem. I tried on a similar bike and had no problems, so for once its my bike, not me. My tire is good, no cupping, both fork seals are good and forks are adjusted identically. What else should I check?

 

how about checkin ur crappy endo's at the door!!! muhahahahahahaha mike...u asked for that one. Just get a damper u gonna need one up the road anyway. What else is there to check u already looked at the tire and forks, and the road is flat... maybe it's all in ur head.

 

The only only other thing I would say to check would be the steering head bearings. When they get loose, the forks will oscillate and make it shake.
My F4i shakes alot......even with the damper turned all the way up, sometimes it gets some good slap toward the last third of my stoppies (cause' I suck and don't get 'em up high until the last 75-100 feet. )

 

it could be that the tire is out of balance or that your fork tubes aren't set up exactly like the other one (assuming their each adjustable)

 

Mike checked the Tire and the forks... I bet its the tire. Hey doodle ur f4i used to be owned by Crotchrktrcr...

 

The rim is probably bent, my forks are not perfectly at the same height and i didnt adjust them and i was still rolling long endos. Or maybe what standy said the neck bearings. always make sure to check the neck on f4i's they tend to come loose. I dont care how fast ur going a damper and a jacket are always a good idea. i learned the hard way.


and to answer the question abouve, doodles f4i was crtchrktrcr's bike yess

 

i happen to have a damper for sale.... weird? and yes, it makes your wheelies faster mike

 

Yup, that **** was loose

 

secong that.....I have a GPR, had it turned all the way up and way getting a shutter and sometimes a headshake, was the nut that tightens down on the steering stemm bearings.....KCTony found it, and fixed the problem in less than 20 minutes!!!

 

How about since Mike M's problem is now solved... Mike Laux gives me his damper...

TEAMCLC knows a lot of information- he's an ocean of stunt knowledge.

 

Check your rim??

 

HMMM you are a fast learner j/k

thx for the compliment
