I've already got 2 fat ass wallets cause I just can't get all that money in 1. I'm pretty even there.Put your fat ass wallet in your other back pocket. Then it will go the other way.

My '05 does this also. Very slightly though. When I installed a throttle lock and could keep the enging pulling the drift was gone. This leads me to think that the rotating mass of the engine and drive shaft during compression breaking is the normal cause of this. Has anyone else tried this?
I think that it could be similar to watching a top fuel car torque to the side during a burn out or race start.
Arr but I am..It's the Coriolis effect, it would go to the right if you were in the southern hemisphere.
Reviving Old Post. New for me im having the same issue.Thankyou all for your suggestions and comments.
I have not at this stage been able to put my finger on precisely why it does this,
Maybe the bike is bent or maybe the bike is just unbalanced.
I'm gone to start doing some more preventative maintenance on the bike soon (when those other 5 projects are done or the wife sees some progress),
Front wheel bearings are on the cards. If I find something resolves it I'll be posting the results.
I was just messing with you. Good for you for searching first.sorry ...
The posts are old the situation is new to me.
It is a current issue even more now with the lithium batteries with 3.8kg less than the OEM battery
Sounds normal to me. Mine drifts to the left and back straight with a slight adjustment. You didn't make mention of any wobble which also makes me think that it is normal.Guys and galsThis is an odd question and one I hope isn't responded to with "SOUNDS BENT". (but maybe it is)
Riding my 2002 non ABS FJR with no paniers (saddlebags)
If I let the bars go (no hands mum) the bike heads left. I only have to lean slightly right or just touch the left hand grip and it steers nice and straight.
I've only owned the bike for a few months and have put near 2000km on it. At this stage there's no abnormal tire wear. The bike doesn't appear to have ever been down, it has the expected scratches etc of a 5 year old bike with 60 000 KM on the clock. But no nasty marke on the exaust cans, damaged fairing etc that you's expect from a significant accident.
It corners fine and stops in a straight line as far as I can tell.
I had wondered if it not having the ABS gear might put the bikes balance off?
Oh it's not camber of the road.
Is this typical of an FJR???
Any suggestions!!
Thank you
...except for a bunch of zombie-enablers!!FJR, Honda & 2 Kawaski's- what I've owned in the last decade. All move(d) left when I let go of the bars. Maybe one buttcheek is 4.263869 g heavier than the other, I dunno, but IMHO it's normal.
Ride more, stress less. Move along, nothing to see here.
