Beautiful, beautiful bike!
And, yes, that type of rotors and brake pads can be noisy sometimes.

Life is good.Thanks for taking us along for the ride on your pretty new '14! There are a number of things I don't understand...I gotta get me one of those there things!
- Where are the frost heaves and pot holes in the road? Huh? What are those?
- What happened to the hills and mountains? We Texans have a lot of faith and move them around.
- Where did the 14.56e4 other commuting cars go? Behind me....
- Where are the rivers and lakes? To the left...
- Why is the sun already up when you go to work? Going home early in the afternoon in this one. 0430 start to the day usually.
- If there are no stripes on the road can you use the whole road from shoulder to shoulder? Obviously....
- Why is the ground green instead of white? Cow food.
- How come you didn't freeze to death with the windshield down? I am one tough customer, 60 degrees doesn't bother me.
Here is an alternative to tracking down and buying an expensive spanner wrench or socket.I had the dealer check it out twice. The lead tech says it feels good to him. He can tell what I am talking about but he thinks it is just normal movement in the suspension / front tupperware. He did not re-torque the steering head. I am going to buy a socket and and re-do it myself. I am also going to check the torque on everything else up front just to put my mind at ease. I will report back if I track it down or not.
Thanks all, for the advice / comments.
Time to do the first fluid change, 600 on the odo.
Side panels are scheduled for delivery today! Longest back order ever. I am excited to get them installed.Yessirrom, You're not done yet. Get some carbon fibre adhesive material and cover the panel behind the front fender. It will complement the fender extenda. You can use the same material to cover the tank trim piece. It is very important to either buy or have the side panels candy red. It will become a mandate that 2014 FJR's have red side panels. Why in hell did Yamaha release bikes to the U.S. with silver panels while they sent them to Europe with red panels? Inquiring minds need to know!!
