Good morning everyone, I'm selling my 2017 FJ-09 which was bought new in June 2018. Garage kept, never been down and I have its clean title in hand. Since I purchased it, I've put 2,637 miles on, changed the oil with Yamalube at 600 miles and cleaned and waxed the chain every 500 miles. Comes from the factory with LED low and high beams . Included in the listed price are the OEM heated grips, OEM quick-shifter (and original shift linkage), Shad luggage, racks, Givi windscreens (with factory windscreen) and the chain maintenance tools. Cash only, $7,000. Springfield, Virginia. Many thanks! Chris

Thanks guys. Tires are only about 1500 miles old (as is the bike) and were always inflated to favor spec. I haven't seen any cupping, just the aforementioned grease on the axle. I could see how it might be an aero issue at high speed but say it by caveat, I am no aerodynamicist. That said, here is my layman theory. If there is any imbalance from the air pressure on one handguard and it is enough to push the bar to one side at high speed, the effect would be to reduce the pressure on that handguard because it is being pushed more parallel to the wind. This push would then pull the opposite handguard into the wind at a higher angle increasing the pressure there which then would push it back the other way and the wobble begins. I'll take my guard off and test it out.

Right on thanks guys

Any good results from more conventional tuning? If so stiffer better or softer? I forgot to mention there was a small amount of what looked like axle grease down on the left side of the front axle yesterday that I wiped off. I'd say a little less than a fingertips worth. One more thing that I always associated with the pads (shifting back and forth in the caliper) is that if I apply the front brake while going backwards, I get a click. When I go forward again I get another click but it stays quiet as long I always go forward.

Morning all, I've searched on the forums and elsewhere looking for a good solution and have come to no resolution. The high speed wobble exists on my '17 09 but that oddity aside, I'm more baffled by recently noticing a decelerating headshake. Mind you, its not a full on tank slapper but concerning none the less. I don't typically accelerate hard in the mornings (or at all really) when its dark however this morning I had an opportunity and ran it up close to redline in 2nd gear. When I let off, I noticed some headshake. I didn't lift the front wheel and had my weight forward. I'm 6'4", 225 with all my gear on, have a Givi screen all the way up with a deflector on top of it. Shad top and side cases. I don't remember my exact settings on the suspension but the rear is actually set pretty "soft" even though it feels firmer than the front which is about 3/4 way through the preload and about 2 clicks from full in on rebound. Any ideas other than headbearing? Thanks, Chris
