Howdy crew, I have a front end shake (tank slap) at 80km's. I have no sign of the shake until right on 80kms then it goes away by about 85km, then it is only just noticable from then on but 80kms is right on it. The shake is only when I remove both hands, it doesn't seem to do it when I have one or both hands on the job. I'm thinking 1) get tyre rebalanced 2) front wheel bearings 3) head stem bearings?? not sure if there is one of these to hit first for this model or it might be something completely different. There is no damage to the rim that I can see. Trye wear seems fairly normal. She has done 70,000kms 1990 C1. I don't know too much of her history as she is second hand. I can't say that I noticed the shake when I first bought her but it wasn't until recently that I actually removed both hands and I nearly shit myself with the shake. I thought it was gunna do a full tank slap on me!! Cheers Pinebox
