What is the most likely reason that my 990 shakes it's head a bit if I take my hands off the bars during deceleration. It tracks true normally and doesn't do it with just slight pressure on bars, ie. even resting two fingers. Just on deceleration.

Front suspension a bit light (haven't played with it since last ower who was substantially more beefy), poor wheel balance (although don't think it is at any particular speed,....??

Yes, I know its best to keep hands on the bars but I am just wondering.

Length of the forks?

Steering angles?

Haha - At a guess I'd say it's alignment.

plenty of causes....head bearings..wheel balance, defective tyres inc the rear'...top boxes can cause this too...oh and whats wrong wi riding no hands..im known to do it on long rides to relieve the back muscles..aka sit bolt upright and stretch out''...and mine stays steady

Do you think it could be the wheel balancing?
