[QUOTE="R3d Ryd3r, post: 289268, member: 4946"] I know this is a common problem, but no-one seems to have it as bad as I do yet. If I roll off the throttle and release the handlebars, the speed goes from 50+ to 40 MPH the bike starts to get a head shake so bad that it would be a tank slapper if i did not grab the bars again. I have just recently gotten the bike back from the shop where they replaced the plastic on the front, so I'm sure they took the wheel off. Also, I installed the factory top case before I noticed the wobble. so I could take it back to the dealer and complain (i guess) or I could nail down the cause on my own (probably) Does Yamaha make a steering damp for the FJR? does anyone? If its the torque setting on the forks, what do I need to test that? Thanks for any help R3d [/QUOTE]
