Head shake on 2009 TE 310

I went for a ride today and that when I got off the single track and onto the fire roads, I had a pretty good "speed wobble" type feeling at about 46-50 mph. I have not done anything to adjust my suspension since I bought the bike.

I was thinking that maybe adjusting my fork down would help by increasing weight transfer to the front wheel.

I'm a pretty novice rider and don't have a ton of mechanical expertise so I' m looking for any advice I can get.

Thanks in advance....

You can try and add some sag to the rear shock and lower your forks down a notch in front. It really helps to get the suspension dialed in for your weight and riding conditions with the right springs and sag settings, etc..

Thanks.... does anyone know the right settings for sag for me:
I'm 6ft1 180lbs, but about 195 lbs with riding gear and kit.

Thanks.... When I can I'm buying one of your steering dampner's for sure!!! Can they fit with an oversize tank like IMS or P3 products?

After you get the sag dialed in try your fork height at 5 -7mm protrusion. worked for me.

I cant seem to keep my front wheel on the ground ! This lil bike rips

Importent

Some dealers dont lower the forklegs. When they set it up for dilivery Tansportsetting so it will fit in to woodbox.

Just be sure it is head shake and not the front wheel ballance due to the rim lock. This will cause the bike to feel a bit ordinary at those speeds. If this is the case then you can either ignore it or buy some rim or spoke weights to counter-balance the gyro effect. Personally I would ignore it unless you are dining a lot of higher speed work.
If it is indeed a head shake the the info previously posted is spot on.
My brother has an 09 310 which I frequently ride (they are a bloody good machine IMHO -but should be 350cc's) and we have not detected any head shake at all.

I could feel my front wheel wanting to hop when my 510 was new as I drove 50mph on asphalt while breaking it in. It needed some weights opposing the rim lock. I acquired some stick on's and added until the wheel didn't roll by itself when on a bike stand. Completely fixed the hop. Added them to the rear as well for good measure. My clickers were all at the minimum settings at that time. HTH
