I am new to the Buell bikes but have not had this problem with other bikes before. During turns, any turns, if I try to accelerate, or keep my speed, the steering shakes. I don't know if it is the suspension, or just how I am riding the bike. Anyone got any suggestions? |

Check your tyre pressures.

How many miles on the bike? Might want to check your steering head bearings for tightness. |

Took it to Buell shop to check steering head bearings, they tightened it but they said it didn't really need it. Tire pressure was good. I think it just be how I am riding it. I tend to look at the road instead of looking ahead, but it's hard not to look at the road in San Antonio with all the pot holes. |

The steering head angle on these bikes are as steep as you will find on the race bikes.
They are so intuitive that they basically steer where you look.
You need to develop both your near and far vision to ride them effectively - concentrating on both the potholes and the bend coming up.
I bet you have never felt a bike that corners quite as well as this though. |
