My bike chatters in both front and rear wheels if I brake hard or give it gas coming out of flat hard pack or tarmac.
Like both wheels bounce up and down rapidly.
Is this a suspension issue or wheel issue?
Would increasing rebound and comp force wheels not to vibrate so rapidly or is this more of changing the springs?
How do I reduce wheel chatter?

How may hours are on the fork oil and shock oil?

My front also is not confidence inspiring over about 40mph, on the road. I feel a definite small shake. I am thinking it is the wheel. But not sure.

12 hrs on the forks.
The rear shock I got professionally done as it is still beyond me. Done 4 hrs on it.
I think it could be the wheels too. I took a slow mo video and could see the bounces vibrate with a similar timing to wheel movement.

Look on the Race Tech site. They have a few articles on there. Maybe there is a street related one that applies.
