I caught a bad case on the f1 once. Not fun. Nearly highsided

Yeah I've seen videos of it happening, I just don't know how to get into that situation.

I had some shake under heavy braking on the SV. The 600rr had one from OEM that was really good. The BMWs antilock linked brakes are nice, so I haven't experienced it yet. Plus because of the suspension setup, the BMW sorted squats instead of diving.

I have had headshake, but I just keep on the gas, and it smooths out.

I'm actually surprised I haven't experienced it on the Buell with its crazy geometry. But it's been rock solid for me all the time. Granted, I don't push it like some of you guys. I think the GPR is the only option for me anyway.

Me either, but thats probably b/c both of my bikes have had a damper on them. :lol:

Then you don't need a steering damper, you need either to inflate your tire (that's a symptom of low tire pressure) or get one that isn't flat spotted.

Tire pressure should be part of your daily pre-ride inspection.

Uneven pavement was all it took. Luckily whoever wrote the nj state test manual did an excellent job and I knew how to save it.
