Well, how high is the speed before it shakes?

Just some general problems I had experienced b4 when front is shaky at high speed.

- Wheel balancing not done.

- Wheel rim deform.

Your wheel bearings chui already?

ashenZ · February 10, 2005

Define ur high-speed handle bar shaking????

maibe u need heavier balancers?? better check both ya steering cone n wheel bearings....

hehhehe maibe dat time when u handle bar shakes, the ground uneven????

in locating ya probz.... if solve it, rem to post it up n share share

sonic_seed · February 12, 2005

Hi guys, thanx for reply..hm..for wheel bearings.. I guess a simple way of checking is by facing the bike, and using our legs to clamp the front wheel, thereafter using our hands, grap each side of the handle bar and give it left right movement... if the wheel is not lose, then wheel bearings are ok..As the steering cones...hmm..may need to go down to mech to give it a check.

As for the symptons, Ok, I describe it further abit..

While travellling about 60-70km/hr...I let go both me hands to close e lid on me helmet(bit cranky liaoxz), suddenly, the handle bar virbates itself n starts going left right abit..pretty scary and I quickly grap the bar again. Thereafter, I try let go abit at bout 100, also same, even with one hand, the handle bar will vibrate too, but not as excessively as both hands letting go..

So would like to know if any of the guys here ever experience something like that?

thanx

ashenZ · February 12, 2005

if itz 60kmph-80kmph..... tink the excessive vibration is normal.......

but if at 100kmph.... the vibrations shud be negiligible... u wun even see it....

to test the steering cone.... try swing ur handle bar left n right... see if itz turning effortlessly.. or doing controlled turning.... if u turns too freely... probz need to change sterring cone.....

try putting heavy end balancers.... Best if ya get a mechanic to check it up..... no point putting yaself in all these doubts.. only end up making yaself more paranoid...

urz a new FJR????

Easyrider_Bandit · February 12, 2005

One more thing... balancers will reduce the vibration, but the problem will still remain.

If you are vibrating like that, then *SOMETHING* is wrong..., either wheel not balanced, bearings spoil, cone not good.... you can put on bigger balancers to reduce the vibration, but the problem is there and getting worse... dun play around with things like steering... steering koyak very very dangerous....its just reduces the symptoms, does not 'cure' the problem.

Mine at 60 - 80km/h do not have much vibration unless I grip the handle bar very tightly which I do not. Last time I do feels a bit numb in my hands when I first ride this bike ( I am having a death grip on the handle bar due to not use to the power ).

But at this slow speed the bike is quite jerky, runs smooth when above 90km/h and was perfect above 110km/h.

Hi,

I would like to contribute on the "Handle shakes on the FJR. The problem might occurs when you have the additional top box with heavy load. Try to spread the load on the side panniers.

Cheers
