[QUOTE="mattster31, post: 348128, member: 12073"] I have had this problem with other Yamaha bikes, though not my FJR as yet. I had an '85 RZ500 that was downright nasty with the head shake. Had to put a steering damper on it finally. Then I had an 89 FZR1000 which only had a mild speed wobble at speeds above 220km/hr. I currently have an 85FZ750 that had a deceleration wobble so I changed the tire and it almost completely went away. However, I also had an 87 FZR100 that I looped during a wheelie and dented the front rim mildly. So since I was only 23yrs old at the time [I]and[/I] invincible, I figured I could just hammer it out and re-balance the tire :dribble: Well..............you might be interested to know that this bike had ZERO speed wobble before the dented rim, but certanly had one after!!! Just saying :rolleyes: Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!!!!!!! :D [/QUOTE]
