Seems like the max wants to. A lot of the time. Nothing crazy tho. Air pai is even at 7. Steering head bearings maybe?

OK, so not just me. Wobble comes on at about 105 and is down right scary by 120. I have not had the courage to go past that. B-A-D shake. Like, this would do a better job than the paint shaker at Home Depot.
Glad it is is known deal.

So put it on the center stand, or lift. Start it up and idle it up to a couple grand rpms in 2nd or 3rd gear. See how bad your BACK tire wiggles. Please report back - I'm curious.
Definitely DO inspect your neck bearings and adjust according to Sean's video. It helps tremendously to control whatever is causing your bikes' headshake. (in my experience, always a worn/crooked back tire)
Others have had different experiences.
This sounds like a test for a Darwin award. My wife will not allow a motorcycle in the living room.
WTF???? Is that some way of calling me stupid because I suggested you go test your back tire for wobbles? AFAIC, you can take your Vmax problems and shove them up your..........:bang head:
putting 17inch wheels seem to fix it for me ask Boxenstop
I noticed the same thing. When I put the front matching 17" wheel on, it became a different handling ride. Steering is quick, but straight line stability is right on. Of course everything mentioned above has to be right. Like don't shove things up your keister sideways. Bad tires and loose/bad head bearings are common. A stocker without mods should be comfortable into the triple digits with good tires. Most don't stop there, me included. Radials are big, solid mounts, frame bracing, they all contribute.

I wonder if the 17 inch wheel helps because its smaller than stock, so it will move the geometry a bit, so in turn will move more weight forward on the front tire?
