another update
I agreed to pay for another front tire.... This is the forth... They gave to me at cost... They called on Friday and said the shake is gone...
I went in on Saturday and rode it, like hell it was gone, I noted the Speed and gear it was in and had the tech reride it...... Sure enoguh he finally rode it like I told him all along and experienced it..
Take off in first, switch to second and take up to fifty, let go of the bars and immediately goes into a head shake with about three inch sway on bars, at about 35 it gets worse enough to regrab the bars.
Same thing happens in third gear.
Well the explanation now is bad neck bearings, I have to wait for those to come in, and they now said that even after adding the bearings and torquing to specs, they could over torque them and make the head shake dissapear.. That sounds like masking the problem.... The service guy even said hey "what about a steering stabilizer"......
What the hell, I thought the dealer should be on my side, and trying to throw this back at Yamaha and get them to own up to fixing it.
