hey all, just wondering if anyone's had this happen or any advice on what the intermittent handlebar shake would be?? it tends to come and go but when it's happening, it's pretty nasty!

thanks.

could be a number of things wheel bearings, tie rod ends,loose link edge,or it could be a worn rack on the steering if i were you i would stop driving it till you find the problem or you could find yourself side ways on a trail

x2 on addressing the issue before riding it again. A ways back, I dismissed a similar issue and ended up over my handle bars after loosing the castle nut on one of my ball joints.
