How I fixed my FJ's Wobble - Headshake

[dom77]

captrob's settings pretty much fixed my wobble issues THANKS. i initially used your settings but i found the ride too harsh, we have a lot of bumps on our roads so i eased off on the preloads front and back, and also on the front rebound dampning. im pretty sure im gona be upgrading that crap suspension as soon as i can. with the ecu flash it should be a pretty decent bike. thanks again captrob for sharing your settings.

Hi Quicksilver fZ1! Still got the '03 Bumblebee, and Mary did get the FJ today. So far she friggin' loves it. she needs to ride it some more before the mods begin. :-)

... the first thong I'll do is raise the forks in the triple clamps 5-6mm. Puts more weight on the front wheel, stops it from trying to lift off above 100 mph. With over 500K on m/c's over the years all bikes handling issues have been cured with:Raising the forks and/or raising the rear end; works for almost all bikes as they come from the Factory to understeer...

Do you just loosen the triple clamp and push/pull the forks to achieve this? I'm interested in your method... 5-6mm is enough to make a difference?

Hmmm. Both my wife and I have '15 FJ09s. Hers has a Puig touring windscreen, mine is stock. I've had them both up to the top speed (indicated 114) with no problem and suspension settings as from the factory. I do run tires at 36-37 front and 40-41 rear.

i think rider weight has a lot to do with it, i also noticed that wind also dident help, i weight 220lbs and the damm thing would wobble a 120 km/h (70mph i think).
