Message: [QUOTE="shockdoc, post: 309945, member: 23028"] Eric T......first off at 200 # you need stiffer springs. This bike has a 10.0 rear spring & .38 forks springs. Very unbalanced. Usually if your head shake is at speed or while accelerating then yes, raiseing your forks a little will help. That or if your rear is sitting to low then you can help the headshake by raising IT up. Your headshake while just cruising or slowing down can happen from to soft in the frt. or stiff in the rear. With the stk. springs you may be able to adj. it to fix 1 prob. but will prolly cause a diff. prob. Where is your sag? If you don't have aprrox 3/4 to 1" of free sag with 90-100 rider sag then you may need to get a stiffer spring. You will for sure need to go up to .44-.46 to stiffen the frt. then you will be able to raise your forks up a little in the clamps. Your bike will sit up at the top of the stroke better and handle the sand like you want it. doc [/QUOTE]
