Calling all sand riders, I need help with "Death Wobble"

<< < (2/3) > >>

bigdaddyfatsac:
I have a WER Dampener on mine, I've never experienced any wobble when riding in the sand.

cbxracer30:
I've used steering stabilizers off of GSXR750's you can pickthem up cheap on ebay . Weld a tab on the steering stop at the bottom of the frame head where the triple tree mounts. You can bolt the stabilzer to it , then all you need to fab a fork clamp. This set-up works well and is very inexpensive ,also you have to cut the front number plate to clearance.CBX

BDI:
I never even thought how bad it would be without a dampner.

stock500:
The front tire has a really bad wobble to it at speed.  I had mine balanced and it helped lots.  That may be some of the problem.

SeaSpyder:
I've got a new Hooker paddle and am in the process of servicing the forks. also going to lower them a little in the clamps, currently they are flush with the top.  I'll report back to you guys after I take back out in the sand
