Is that windshield causing your handlebars to twitch? Or do you need to replace your steering stem bearings?

I don't think they're actually twitching, I don't seem to notice them wobbling at all while riding. I think it's Sony's image stabilization making things look kinda weird. Then again those roads were pretty bumpy. I'll have to pay closer attention to them now

You can see it right at the beginning of the video, when you make the pirate video. And then later too. I can't rule out it's due to road surface, just caught my eye. I had to replace steering bearings recently, and the steering did want to wobble when I let go of the handlebars. Even on smooth surface.

Yeah I know I'll have to do my bearings soon. These VTX's came with crappy roller bearings from the factory and they're pretty notorious for premature wear. I don't seem to notice a wobble when I'm riding but I can feel the steering starting to get a bit sloppy

The bars twitching is image stabilization. You can tell cause it happens with the helmet too. Look forward to maintenance videos
