    Front wheel buzzing sound...

    is your front tire flat spotted? I noticed that with my oem front tire that was flat spotted, put on a PR2 and it quit until it too got flat spotted. As far as I can tell, it's the ridges of tread along the edge of the flat spot hitting the floor. I think when the wheel is turned, it leans...

    Does this sound like steering stem bearings?

    Hey guys... I noticed towards the end of last year's riding season that when I use the front brake, as the forks compress, there is a click in the front end somewhere. I can barely feel it in the bars. Also worth noting, I removed the cable guide under the top clamp when putting on risers. Do...

    Their response was that any issues need to be brought to a dealer and no other comment. Makes me feel good that a covered my butt with a Brodie harness. Hopefully they are gonna at least address it on future models.

    2006 Subframe Crack

    Man that sucks! How much weight do you think caused the failure? A good aluminum welder can fix that right up... maybe even reinforce it.

    OEM heated grips.... Did I F*$K up?

    Thanks for the peace of mind BrettB! I would like to ad that the Yamaha mounting instructions kinda sucked...

    OEM heated grips.... Did I F*$K up?

    I installed my heated grips tonight and while doing the wiring, the instructions said to "find" the black and gray plugs on the bike... my question- 'while up underneath, by the left front blinker, I found 2 plugs- same shape as the grip plugs, but they are both black. I used them and I'm...
