No and no. If you have crash bars you can jack up the front and place jack stands under them for support. Took me about 6 hours over the course of a few days. Lots of info here... https://www.fjrowners.com/threads/a-strange-case-of-handlebar-wobble-2015es-fixed.156518/#replies

How about the vacuum hoses? A clogged/dirty MAF sensor hose might cause a stumble.

Thanks for the update. Good to know when an issue is resolved. (y)

Wow!!!! I've never seen coolant like that before. Good job getting it all figured out. (y)

So it wasn't oil leaking on the ground?

BTW that hose was not "sheared off". Overflow and vent hoses are usually cut at angles to produce a venturi effect to aid scavenging.

There are no conclusive findings, too many variables involved. For me I tried one and after a little fiddling I got it to MY liking. Some guys want an absolute air pocket to ride in while others, like me, like a little air flow on them. You can adjust them where they do make a difference.

So when was your last tune up? Meaning oil, plugs, filters, a can of FI cleaner, etc. Is the battery strong?

This suggestion I can agree with. ;)

Yes what Harper said. If it cranks but does not fire I'd say battery going bye bye. If pressing the button does nothing for a time or two, loosen the screws holding the switch housing together, pry it apart a hair and spray the insides with something like ACF-50 or De-Oxit. Don't use WD40...

Nobody mentioned repair. You mentioned "periodic maintenance", which is what changing pads is. Which is what cleaning bobbins is. One of the main functions of the bobbins is to keep heat from the rotor's braking surface away from the carrier, avoiding warping. So "micro scratches" are a...

I don't think any manufacturer lists cleaning your caliper pistons when changing pads but you do that anyway, don't you?

There really are no symptoms. It's a maintenance thing. Like cleaning your calipers every once in a while. Here's an idea what to do....

I clean mine every year doing my spring prep. I have a rubber "cone" that goes into a cordless drill. A quick shot of brake cleaner, stick the cone in the bobbin, give it a quick spin and done. Takes 10 minutes, never had any brake issues.

Did you spray the bobbins with brake cleaner as you turned them? They can hold quite a bit of crud. Otherwise they're fine, can't always turn them by hand. But as long as you "broke them free" you're good to go.

Those gold wheels might even look good on my '015 Liquid Graphite. Photoshop anyone?

Seems OK. Good price but can't tell quality. I couldn't find dimensions or weight, those are critical if moto camping.

You have 2 threads going asking for help with the same problem. You received help from a half dozen guys here and no response. How about you post the solution so that you may help others with the same problem?
