Zzr1100 shaking its head.

The forks seem ok (not that iv done much more the poke and shake them). The rear wheel is good possibility though as iv not looked at that at all apart from checking tire pressures. Il check that in the morning and give an update. cheers

Yes it has the balancing weights fitted. That's a good video thanks and watching that reminded me that in the paperwork that came with the bike was a receipt from a couple of months back for a set of fork seals. I wonder if the bloke I brought the bike from fitted them himself and buggered up the refitting of the forks. I think a day of checking everything on the bike is on the cards.

Well I spent a lovely few hours up to me ear oles in 20 odd year old brake calliper grime today. Out of the 8 pistons on the 2 calipers 5 were seized solid and the other 3 were sticking. Took me almost an hour to remove one of the caliper pins. However patience and brake cleaner won and now iv 8 working pistons and lovely responsive brakes. The shakeing head is 80% better but can't say I trust the bike completely yet. I'm almost certain new tyres will remedy the other 20%.
