Cheers Guys (and gal) bloody good night and heaps of fun.......Pity that it coincided with the Ralph Bikini Competition at the Grumpy Mole, It was a real shame having to share the pub with all those bikini clad hutt slappers.

Yeah, was a good evening. Baiting Fatjiim with the promise of burgers was a highlight.

Bit of fun last night was. Scariest tank slapper I've ever had, and I gather I wasn't alone in experiencing tank slappers last night. Although I didn't hang around long enough at the pub to experience any tanked slappers.
Some bikers need to work on their observational skills I think. How do you NOT see a marked highway patrol car? Yeah, you, you know who you are you bad bad girl - don't blame it on the tinted visor!

ARGH!!! I had the scariest tank-slapper I've ever had too!! Actually it's the only one, but it was HORRIBLE! The whole situation's quite disturbing actually cause it happened twice and I wasn't even going that hard. I'm having to reasses the whole situation - it's probably going to happen again and will it chuck me off next time?! Not happy. How much would a steering dampener and fully adjusted suspension help?

I went out for my ride last night at about 8 o'clock. The Valley was crawling with law enforcement -- I saw six cars between Petone and Haywards.

On the way back from the pub to Whitby they were all over the place too, all heading south though.

Quite a bit. Get someone to set up the front end properly.
Are you hanging onto the bars tight enough ? I get the odd head shake if I get lazy, and that's with a steering dampener.

I'd love to answer your question V, but you know me - I just ride the bike, I don't know how it works!! When you do find the answer, let me know. But it was while I was trying to keep up with you that I slapped mine.

Yeah - it wasn't a wobble - it was a serious flicking from side to side. Bit of a confidence shaker. But yeah - I better sort the suspension before I do anything else.

The tighter you hold the bars the WORSE the headshake will get.
Human arms, especially girly ones, aren't capable of damping an oscillation of that amplitude and force, and trying to fight a slapper usually ends up with you feeding force into the bar dance at the wrong part of the cycle.
If I was you V the first thing I'd look at doing is getting lighter fork springs and re-spring the rear shock. You're even tinier than the monkeys they develop 600s around.
Then get your sag set right. I mean the bike's sag. Sorry.
In the mean time, get someone to help you with static sag. You'll need two other people who can lift each end of your bike, one end at a time with you on it, and they'll need to be able to write and take measurements, so no Gorillas OK?
Knock the compression damping right off to about 2 clicks from softest. Set rebound to about 4 from softest front and rear. You need compliant suspension that works in the best part of its travel to deal with bumpy roads. Don't go for racetrack settings, particularly with you being as light as you are.

Tyres (front and back) effect the stability of the thing. Perhaps you have more unstable tyres than Honda intended. My conservative, weak little RVF is twichier than it was on the new tyres. Also, it's done 20,000km right? Perhaps the head bearings could do with a tighten, which could also help.I have to admit, I thought your cowpoos 600rr has Boi Ricer hard suspension.
Have you ever seen a shopping trolly with a wobbly wheel? Skimming across the ground and flicking around?
