When I first installed a shaker in my TWD LE, I found it to have a bit too much oomph. I ended up adjusting the weights on it to lower the amount of shake, and I am very happy now.

Quoted from PunishersLEMC:Funny you said that - I just installed mine and I think it walks across the room Have to look into adjusting the weights...
It's really easy. All you need is a 3/32 hex key. Remove the set screw, rotate the weight 90 degrees, and then re-install the set screw in the other hole.
Quoted from gawcol:I always add shaker if possible. In TWD it went too strong. But you can adjust it in the settings, no need to adjust weights.
There is no way to adjust the strength of the shaker in the settings menu. You can only adjust the frequency that it is used.
Quoted from billsfanmd:Is it easy to adjust or move weights on shaker?
Yes. It's as simple as unscrewing the set screw, rotating the weight, and then tightening it back down.
Quoted from billsfanmd:Do you want weights together or opposite to min shaking ?
It will come with the weights both oriented in the same direction. To reduce the shaking effect, simply rotate one of the weights 90 degrees. The newer Stern shakers also have a long threaded rod at the top. By tightening this rod, you can further reduce unwanted vibrations.
Quoted from n0s4atu:Ok, just installed my shaker and it feels like it's vibrating against something more than shaking like the one in my MET ... Is that the problem people were describing as it shaking too much?
Yes. I would describe it as a jack hammer type of sound. The best way to fix this is to tighten the long threaded screw.
