This has happened to me 3 times on the blade now. I have exited a bend in 3rd, full throttle and gone over a bump. This had caused the hadlebars to violently shake. I ease off the power and all is good but I am worried one day this is going to end badly.

Is the suspension set up wrongly or am I just not riding it properly?

Would a damper help?
