Some weave, yes, some wobble, most bikes will under certain conditions, but 'death' wobble? - I'm sure I'd have read about fatalities on here over the last 17 years if it was the case. I suspect many of us have already made up their minds.

I have never made any disparaging remarks about you and I'm disappointed that my challenging your assertions are taken as such. As I have previously said, I you have the right to believe whatever you want but if you make your thoughts public the you shouldn't be surprised if they are challenged...

In addition to the Ohlins also add the ISR callipers, m/c's and Otec arm to the list of 'desirable' parts - look up how much they cost! I had the long Holeshot end cans and they were loud so if these are the short ones they are likely to be louderer. The headers are most likely ceramic coated...

Processes in the US may differ but this is what happens in the UK. Where there are no witnesses then I recognise that it may not possible to give a definitive answer to the cause of an accident. I doubt that this is often the case so based on eye witness accounts and forensic evidence in most...

I would only replace them if they are no longer serviceable and then get the OE bolts so you know they are to the correct specification. Red will be fine; I recall reading somewhere (but can't recall where) that you could ( should?) also spot punch between the end of the thread and flywheel...

You can believe what you want but repeating the same diatribe doesn't make it true. This is pure speculation without presenting a shred of evidence of Yamaha's complicity and (IMO) does nothing to help those with the condition. The cause of serious accidents are always investigated by the...

Sorry if I'm being a bit dense here but I'm assuming you are referring to the 90° in the middle gear and it is this that induces a wobble? As as I can work out the first interaction that the power train has with the frame would be at the final drive. While this may cause the suspension to rise...

If it is an opinion then prefixing your comments with 'IMO' would be helpful rather than stating opinion as fact e.g. "You know Yamaha is aware of the infamous V Max speed wobble."...unless you know something that the rest of us don't? If more riders rode at 145 then IMO they get what they...

Solid mounts dimensions as requested. And just in case you haven't seen it something on weave and wobble.

Please provide evidence of this assertion.

On any axle with a differential one wheel is able to rotate at a different speed to the other. This is necessary as when going round a corner the outer wheel has to travel further than the inner. On that basis, whilst wheel weights can be set on one wheel relative the other, cornering will mean...

Suspension movement will raise the air pressure within the forks and it will act as a spring. When the forks are assembled they will be fully extended and the air within will be at atmospheric pressure. Once the weight of the bike is applied the forks will reduce in length reducing the internal...

I'll offer my standard answer #1: Base any changes of factual data. By that I mean establish what the current air/ fuel ratio's are and make changes from there. If possible get a baseline run on a dyno or if not conduct some plug chops at various revs. That way you will know where where (or if)...

Fair enough but it does imply that offering any more advice would be a waste of time. Your choice of how you proceed of course, but IMO rather than work round the problem it would be far better to identify the root cause and fix the issue.

Tight doesn't mean low or zero resistance - you need to measure resistance and if necessary clean the mating surfaces. Why go to the expense and complexity of buying and installing a second battery when it would appear that you haven't diagnosed what is causing your problem? Rather than take a...

If you haven't worked through the attached suggest that would help diagnose where the issue is. I would also ensure all earth's are clean and that you have good continuity between the wire and frame. As you know your bike earths the r/r through the body so the addition of a ground wire to the...

Have a read of the attached. It would also be good if you could add a few details of your bike in your signature so we know what it is we are dealing with.

Pads moving in the callipers?

Part #'s 5 & 29? (3JJ2312500 described as 'Metal, slide 1')

That would have reduced the trail (castor) so I would have thought that if it was due to a front end issue it would make the steering less stable? However, you may also have moved of C of G slightly further forward.... ...or it could be due to the torque from the pinion lifting the rear end...
