Has anyone got one fitted to a 14 or do they have some sort of factory adjustment built in?
I was doing about 130 in 4th and gave her a good hard twist of the throttle and up she came.
Exciting right?
But nearly ended up with a bad tank slapper because the steering is soooooo light
I don't even have an owners manual for this new girl so any advice would be greatly appreciated

So you reckon I'll get used to the headshake and be able to avoid it
First time is always the hardest

I reckon because your getting used to the bike and the power
you are lofting the front wheel into the air by mistake
youll get used to it I reckon..

Hint.......Keep the front wheel straight upon landing
a SD is not for wheelie headshake its more for cornering chatter etc.

And if you're really worried, it's probably worth getting your suspension setup properly before lashing out on a dampener, the 14 shouldn't really need one.
