[QUOTE="Redfish Hunter, post: 1317530, member: 28773"] I agree that TWO sets of grip heaters is overkill. Get rid of the On/Off set and keep the adjustable ones. I am in South Louisiana and use my grip heaters, by all means keep the best set on the bike. The windshield on the Gen2 bikes does shake and wobble while you ride. The larger, "barn door" screen you have should move a lot. Yes, there is info on this forum about how to lube the mechanism, it should not make excessive noise. I am not sure about "hearing the electronics" but... see the next line down. I think the Gravel Sound from open to closed throttle may be your timing chain. Yamaha updated the Cam Chain Tensioner during the '07 model year. If your bike is still using the original CCT and has almost 50K miles, it needs to be looked at. Yes, you can buy the filler caps for the body work. Try BikeBandit for a start. I would bet the suspension needs some attention and I would absolutely get my ABS fixed. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
