ZX10 front end shake - trackday - why?

[Tazz]

Good work on the smoother riding.

i would have signed off some papers when i got paid out limiting them from any liabilities...

I'd say this. The time to double check and get a second opinion was back before you accepted their assessment I would have thought.

I prefer a professional to look at the bike.
My question was regarding how it works with insurance has already paid out and if there is a problem who would be liable?
Insurance or bike shop. Getting it checked out is one thing, but i am wondering how it will work if there is an actual problem.

Forget all that BS - did you follow Robert Taylor's advice and check the forks for straightness? Stiction and a bent fork will give shakes for sure. Just because the issue didn't present itself at a different track doesn't mean the problem is solved.

Well yes. No way in hell I would be on the track with a bike I didnt know was right or not. Apart from the fact the rider may get hurt, they could go down in front of another rider who gets hurt or worse.

I have experienced slight head shake on a couple of my sports bikes, tyres seemed a little deflated so a bit more air and never seemed to have it again.
I know from experience that you need to get your wheels in line. ie back wheel must align with front, this is easier said than done. Also the front forks needs to be set plumb in the triple clamps, they can be incorrectly tightened so your forks are not quite aligned correctly.
As already mentioned there are many things that can cause head shake, getting everything tight and aligned is a good place to start.

I went to Hampton downs yesterday and didnt get the same head shake.
I am thinking more and more its me not being smooth. I am working on that and its making a difference.

mate can you give an indication as to where on the track you are getting headshake.-or should I say were.
if it helps at all I was getting a fair bit on the 600 exiting T3 and exiting the hairpin.
Nothing alarming just a few flaps and it settled. -I know for certain I was rough as guts on my shifts and had weight a bit too far back .
As I caught up with the bike the slapping reduced to sod all.
Take this as intended-relating personal experience not an expert opinion.
