Front end steering stability at speed
Is it normal for our front to wobble/shake when you turn the handle bars left and right fast? It doesn't continue to shake but goes away quick. It's rather strange feeling.

Why are you tring to shake the bars while moving?? That could cause a crash. Lol there is a thread about how the front end shakes when you take your hands off, but if it does it while your hands are on the front, you should look stuff over. How is your front tire? Is it balanced correctly?

yeah, you shouldnt intentionally wobble your bike........
only time it should wobble on it's own is when you go over a crack or uneven pavement and no, you do NOT need a stabilizer |

I do that to my bars almost every day. I find the wobble kinda fun and enjoyable but I mainly do it to prepare myself for a real speed wobble situation. Just don't do it on a wet / unsafe road or while turning. Practice makes perfect

So you should never intentionally wobble the bike. Got it. I was just trying to get a "hands on" idea of what happens and seeing if this process applies to all bikes in general. What got me to do it was because I was in a turn and was getting ready to transition into another turn and wasn't so smooth since I did it fast.
Stock tires with 1300 miles on them.

The front end should never shake. If it does there is a problem.
