Have you swapped out either the front or rear sprocket on that bad boy? I've had the 929 come up on me at high speeds, but Belle's ZX-6R stays planted above 80 or 90 no matter how far you open the throttle. Also, if you are concerned about head shake or tankslapping, I'd highly recommend a Scott's Damper (if you don't already have one). It doesn't kill off all headshake, but significantly helps in potentially violent tankslapping situations.
Nope, this is the first time the wheel has come up on me at those speeds, I'll thank a near empty gas tank, and I'm guessing the wind?? Strange to me too, but the front was definitely coming up. I'll have to go out and try to recreate that on a calm day... Who knows!!!
I recently put the stock rear sprocket back on, I was using a friends sprocket while he was painting his bike, to help at the track. So this happened with a stock sprocket.

Btw, I do need a damper, I don't like coming down from wheelies and getting the shake, hopefully that will help calm it down some!!!
