My steering head bearings was recently replaced. Since then I get a waeve/head shake above 120km/h. Today I realized that when it starts and I lift my one hand of the steering the shaking stabilizes. This indicated to me that the buffeting on my shoulders might be causing this.

This only starter happening after the head bearing was done. Since I got the bike back it is almost as if the handle bars is to sensitive, almost as if there to little resistance on the bars , if that make sense.

Could it be that the bearings is not correctly torqued?  I read somewhere here that this behaviour could be caused by head bearings that is not tightened enough. Wat should the torque be?

What else can i look for?

Thanks
