XB Lightnings at high speed?

I have checked the stem bearing, muffler bearings are good just upgraded to greaseless ones haha, tires have about 500 miles on them and no lock ups. Its not really a flat spot kind of problem just really loose feeling on the front end.... i was having the problem at 70 mph and played with the suspension and got it so its really good up to probably 85 mile an hour and a little sketchy up to 100 but there is no way i can go over that

as far as suspension, I just did mine (takes a screwdriver and one combo wrench, 5 mins total) and it's obv. important that it's symmetrically adjusted. There are three settings per strut on the front. The service manual details how to set it up for the weight that the machine will be bearing.

That is what I started with did it exactly according to the manual and it was horrible I have found that I needed to turn the sag up and the preload on the rear to make it road worthy at all

If you ride pretty aggressive, here's some race settings that you might try: Buell XB Race Suspension Settings
