Suspension can always be a factor. But sometimes it just happens. Make sure it's tuned correctly, then ride. You basically want to zero out the issue, and that's the best way.

Their are two possible reasons why what happened, happened. Either your suspension is out of spec, or you just had a good shake on the bike, like I said, it happens. So make sure your suspension is tuned, then ride the bike, it it doesnt shake, then you figured out what was wrong by process of elimination.
