Hey everyone. The '05 was delivered today and I really enjoyed a quick ride before having to return to work. I would've ridden it to work if it weren't so chilly (don't have winter riding gear).

Anyway, I noticed something while walking away from the bike after putting her away.

When I look at the back of the bike (while standing behind it), one exhaust is slightly higher than the other. The FJR was on the center stand so I figured they should be visually near perfect in height from the groung.

I took out a tape measure and...

Right side - 20.25 inches off the ground.

Left side - 20.50 inches off the ground.

*measured to bottom edge of the exhaust hole

I know 1/4 inch doesn't seem like much, but it is noticeable visually. I'm just wondering if its normal or not? If so, I'll leave it be. If not, need to go by the shop and have them adjust.

 
Have you have been making nothing but right turns so the right side of your tire is worn down? ;)
