[SIZE=18pt]Man, I can't be the only one - I've got a 2006 Gen II FJR 1300. [/SIZE]
Bought it new off the showroom floor, immediately I had a wobble at about 50 miles an hour. After a thousand miles, I took it to the dealer and one of my forks was higher than the other, they adjusted and gave it back, after another thousand miles, I noticed it still had head shake at lower speeds.... I complained to Yamaha and they replaced the front tire, and checked the head bearings.
I rode it this way for a couple of more thousand miles. It still had the head shake..... I took it to a different dealer and they said, you have different tires on the front and rear.... What.... I hadn't even noticed. They stated different tread patterens from different manufactures might cause a head shake. Made since, but they could not match either tire. So I had to go with Dunlops D220's.. Nice tire... No problems with the rear, but after eight hundred miles, the Head shake was noticable again...
I took to a third dealer and he checked the balance of the front tire, checked the head bearins and Nut to make sure everything was good. He said there was nothing he could do in a short amount of time.. He would need it awhile... I was out of town so that wouldn't work...
I returned home and took it back to the original dealer, and they couldn't find anything except the cupping of the front tire, they told me now that the head shake is from the aggressive driving, causing the tire to cup... Thus causing the head to shake.... Bull%&*@.
the head shake is causing the tire to cup prematurely.....
Anybody have anything for me
