[QUOTE="FJRAust, post: 246060, member: 4749"] Guys and gals This 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 [/QUOTE]
