A good sized pot hole, especially if the torque is low on the axle, as tension enhances lateral strength as well. Banging it into a curb also comes to mind.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #838449 brianmac (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2180 Re:shimmy at speed, tippy etc 3 Years, 2 Months ago   the PO owned it in Hotlanta GA, do they have potholes there?, cuz we dont have em in FL. requires water under road and freeze thaw cycles, we only have SINKHOLES. !!!!!!!!!!!   Logged     [img size=150][/img]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #838451 jd750ace (User) Front toward enemy Platinum Boarder Posts: 18763 Re:shimmy at speed, tippy etc 3 Years, 2 Months ago   Atlanta has shifty red clay soil. They can wallow out a hole you can hide a muleIin. Then, there's curbs too.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1002827 brianmac (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2180 Re:shimmy at speed, tippy etc 12 Months ago   I know this is an old thread but I'm thinking you have to think like race bike if you got shimmy at speed it may be you're set up to tight rear shock too tight too much preload in the front end too heavy fork oil perhaps a tad too much air pressure if your front end is too tight it's going to deflect off everything small bumps in the road a slight lateral win wind   Logged     [img size=150][/img]   The administrator has disabled public write access.
