Front shimmy, could it be just tire pressure ?
« on: September 11, 2012, 10:02:18 PM »
Last few months she has been shaken a bit. More so when loaded. Tire pressure was a bit low 32psi. I think 36psi is right for the front. Havnt tried with the new pressure much yet. Any body else had this issue

Tire pressure is a good place to start....
Are the Neck bearings torqued to spec?

I doubt being 4 pounds light on the front tire pressure is going to cause that.  Some of the RG owners have experienced similar issues and I believe its a neck bearing torque problem (see above post).
