Re: [St] Shimmy, shake, wiggle, waggle, whatever...



Ok, so I can be clear on whatyoure describing as you have used "wiggle" and 
"vibration".

Is the bike shaking its head, as in the 'bars are trying to tank slap?

Or is it kind of a harmonic thing, where there is a definate vibration going 
through the bike?

In either case if you have eliminated tyres as a suspect, I would be checking 
things like the chain, head stock bearings, wheels bearing etc.

My 99 ST had a set of front wheel bearings wear out. First there was a 
strange vibration, that I dismissed. Then I when I was cleaning it, I noticed 
excessive play in the front wheel. By excessive I mean a few millimetres.

HTH.
