[QUOTE="fjrchooser, post: 472791, member: 113"] I've had three zero - near zero tipoverson my '05, All on the right side. The first 2 were thanks to the TPS before I realized it had an issue. Got that replaced a year ago and all was well until I tarded out on takeoff a week ago. Stalled with the bars turned tight right on a hill and did number 3 in front of my son-in-law who in turn almost dropped his brand new 76 mile '08 FJR avoiding me. I didn't even blink this time. Though I did think about and dismiss trying to save it instead of my back three times before it slo-moed onto the asphalt. My son-in law thought I was having the big one as I stepped off it, took forever to get across that I was ok and just stalled it. It was back on its feet in 20 seconds with just a mirror adjust and one more rash mark to the bags so far unrepaired clearcoat. From the look on my son-in-laws face it'll be a while before he offers to let me check out his bike ! Meantime, TOGs are worth twice their weight in gold - which is about what Yamaha wants for the plastic if you run too long without them. Son-in law just popped for a pair after seeing them in action. :clapping: [/QUOTE]
