Just took my second ride on my new, bone-stock Thruxton. On a right-hand sweeper at modest speeds - maybe 60 mph - we hit a series of bumps that threw her into a rather interesting head shake. She waggled the clipons back and forth maybe three or four times, then settled down.
I've been riding sportbikes, sport tourers, and dual-purpose bikes for about twenty years and have never experienced anything like this. Other than this one incident, the Thrux has generally seemed pretty well planted.
Has anybody else experienced this bump-induced head shake with their Thrux? I gather steering dampers are often installed as remedies for head shake on sportbikes, but that seems to be more for speed-induced issues. This seems to be related to road surface.
TIA for any help.
