[QUOTE="bergmen, post: 1227882, member: 15189"] Many have reported loose steering bearings on their new Gen III FJRs, mine included (2014 A). Decel wobble typically is an indication which is what I experienced. I tightened them a good half turn (no torque wrench used) and I may need to nudge them a bit more. My test is to sit on the bike with it off the center stand. Hold front brake and rock back and forth slightly with thumb or finger between the frame and the triple clamp. Any movement whatsoever requires tightening. I feel just a skosh of movement, hardly perceptible after adjusting so I need to go back in a snug them up a bit more. Wobble is gone though. Dan [/QUOTE]
