still happens when coming down from 50 to 40 mph with hands off bars, and new rear tire. perhaps with more adjustable suspension this could be solved. reason i think this is some of us have the shake others don't. there are various sized riders here, height and weigh, as well as some might sit more forward while others don't. i find if i sit back more it happens less.

look at a full on race bike. the seating position is set and the suspension is dialed in. getting it right can be like jetting as you keep adjusting until it gets better and then you go a bit too far and have to back it off a couple, with the added complexity that an adjustment on the rear can impact the front, or vice versa. my thought therefore is maybe, maybe some more rebound damping in the shock, or a stiffer fork spring would reduce headshake.
