I've got real tank slappers a few times on the 350, scary as hell. When it happens, I usually just relax, trying not to put more weight on the front or interrupting the bike (handlebars particularly), and then hope the bike sort itself out. Now I got an el cheapo steering damper on it and it helps a-whole-bloody-lot, I havn't experienced any shaking since I put it on.  |
