[QUOTE="MikeinFresno, post: 216330, member: 40"] yep, right springs and adjust clickers-BUT- it has to be in good condition as well as Dan said. Adding more oil will decrease bottoming. Adding more preload will make them more stiff initially, but not at the end of stroke- the total spring weight doesn't change cuz you preload it-it is what it is. Both or either will sometimes work for this issue. Front end head shake is the handlebars quivering back n forth quickly. This can be scary and a way to deal with when it happens is to gas it to make the front end lite. A cheap way to effect it longer term is to slightly over tighten the head bearings. The correct front springs, rear preload, etc will also affect this. [/QUOTE]
