[QUOTE="cantrell24x, post: 1372547, member: 25388"] I have been riding a 2008 yz 250 for about 6 month now. A good bit of riding actually at least two hours a week not counting the races. The suspension is a showa a-kit that was lowered and set up by RG3. I have always loved this suspension. It is very predictable and helped me build a lot of confidence. Recently however the bike has begun to head shake, and there is a slight problem with the front end not holding a line like it used to. I want to say this all started after I had the suspension serviced, a few weeks ago but I could have been before. Anyhow my problem is headshake under acceleration. Its really bad on a bumpy section but will headshake even on flat gound, even slick flat ground. My sag and fork level are set as they always were so nothing has changed there. One thing I found is that the shock may have originally been charged to 150 psi and now it is only at 130psi. But I do not know for sure that it was at 150. I guess what I really need help with is what different things can cause headshake. I have been told to lower the forks in the clamps but to me that seems like a patch fix. The bike handled great before with the forks at their current level. If anyone has some insight I really appreciate it. [/QUOTE]
