check all the bearings...my 250 would wander and shake and vibrate very bad...i replaced all the bearings and bushings, and got the front end all adjusted, and she finally got rid of all the shaking. But i have heard the 500's vibrate a little more due to the huge piston, but i have never rode one, so i cant say for myself.

Do you mean shake or vibrate? They tend to vibrate more than other quads since its a big single cyl. The shake part could be from bent rims, bent axle, out of round tires, worn tie rod ends, ect.

balance shaft is probably not installed correctly. it does have to be timed to the crankshaft.
