Hey all I asked awhile back about the front end shakes at about 70 (+) wheels trued . I found if I lean over and move my weight forward to the front it stops. About the same with some camping gear and saddle bags full or empty and No extra stuff on the back. any suspension advice here? ( or just get used to kissing the windshield.

Whats your rear preload set at ? try turning it clockwise only there is 5 settings higher the number higher the preload, I have mine on 5 and leave it there. Even with half worn out knobbie on the front it has no shake. Stock forks/shock Dooden A15 Green Ape

~~~I have this same issue, but since I don't ride at higher speeds, no problemo...but when I was trying to ride at 80 indicated, like you I had to slide forward. I thought when I went to a heavier spring in the rear, getting the back end up would solve this but not so it's quite possible our bikes could use a slight tightening of the steer stem bearings. checking my front end it seems to be in spec but at some point I will tighten it up a tad and see if that solves it Jake Reddick Fla.

Need to clean and reoil a filter? A travel-sized shampoo bottle of dish detergent (Dawn?)  would hold plenty to clean out the filter. Blot it thoroughly with the paper towels and allow to air dry overnight. In the morning, pour a small amount of engine oil (spare oil or from a second shampoo bottle) inside the plastic bag and insert the foam filter. Close the bag and knead the oil into the filter. Done? put the paper towels in the empty bag and dispose of in the trash. Reinstall the filter & ride. =) eddie
