[QUOTE="NoVaFJR, post: 117155"] I jacked up the front of the bike and checked the fore-aft movement of the forks. Seems like there's a millimeter or three of play. Made an appointment with the dealer and the service manager checked it out this morning. He checked the play and said it's okay. He also checked the brake components and said they're okay. He says the sound comes from the pads moving in the calipers. I told him this is my fifth bike, none made this noise, and my 2002 FZ1 doesn't and never has. He said it's related to the four-pads-per-caliper design of the FJR. I'm, like, whatever. There's a steering head bolt spanner enroute from BikeJohnny. When it arrives I'll retorque the head bearings myself and report the outcome to the board. BTW--I ordered a 2006 repair manual and the dealership got a manual for a 2005 FJR. Upon return to the dealer, they've determined that the 2006 uses the 2005 manual with a supplement, which they're ordering. Anyone else encounter this issue? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
