[QUOTE="FJRForever, post: 1464847, member: 98121"] I thought I would add my two cents worth to this just for others who come wondering about steering head shake. I had a 07 FJR since day one for 13 years. Bought it in 08. It barely had any problems at all. Rode it 144,000 miles. No headshake. Got a new 2022 and it had steering head shake from day one only when I took hands off the handlebars going 30 to 45 mph. Took the handle bars off and the steering nut was finger loose. Torgued it down. Still same steering head shake. Just finally replaced steering head bearings with tapered bearings at 18,000 miles. No more steering head shake. Surprisingly for me the front end felt quite a bit more solid, planted and controlled. Made me feel quite a bit more confident and happy with the front end. I did not expect any of that. Very glad I got it done. [/QUOTE]
