Northern_Rider Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 The first time I played with my windshield adjustments I noticed they were "wiggeling" even if my knobs were fully tightened. No big deal but its little thing like that I find annoying I had some time to work on my FJ this morning and I found this simple fix...here is what I did: First you need to remove the small phillips screw on the knob (use #2 phillips screwdriver) Remove the knob but leave the sliding part on the bolt Then cut a 3/8 pvc grommet in half Slide the grommet half on the bolt Slide a #12 steel flat washer on the bolt Put the knob back on with the screw Your Done!!

Premium Member ULEWZ Posted April 3, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted April 3, 2015 Nice mod. I added a bag tie around the inside of mine to tighten things up, but yours is far less ghetto (actually looks factory) than mine.

fattraxx Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I'll give this a try. The windshield seems to rock back and forth and needs to be tighter. Simple and easy mods are always a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fj09wildman Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Great fix. I lost the left side assembly and have it's replacement in hand. I purchased parts from Bike Bandit, knob and screw in stock, 2 week b/o on shaft and bracket from Yamaha. I was going to do basically the same thing only with a o-ring to stop the bolt from backing out due to the excess vibration. The grommet, which I already have some in the parts bin, is a much better fix, because of surface area and texture. Thanks for the great mod.

bucktownbilly Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I noticed the rattle too, bugged the crap out of me. Was working on a fix but now I don't have too. Thanks! Now has anyone figured out on how we get the bolt from coming loose all the time? Seems like I have to tighten it at every stoplight. Left one is worse than right.

Premium Member wessie Posted March 4, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted March 4, 2016 I don't adjust my screen now it is in a good position for all riding (Powerbronze with Puig spoiler). After my left adjuster knob went AWOL I replaced it with a bolt from the special tin and added a nyloc nut at the rear, as a temporary fix. It has remained in place and is flush to the surface, not looking out of place so I have not bothered to replace it. . If I should want to adjust it the allen key in the bike tool kit is the right size. This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is.

advman Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I've removed the 'triangular locators' completely (no more rattling) then removed the tiny circlip on the end of the screw thread and fitted a 10mm (spanner size) lock nut on the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
