What owners report
I HAVE OWNED THE MOTORCYCLE FOR ONE YEAR EXACTLY, AND IT HAS 6500 MILES ON IT NOW. IT HAS DEVELOPED A SEVERE WOBBLE AT 45 MPH THAT GOES AWAY AT AROUND 53 MPH. THE HANDLEBARS ALMOST SHAKE OUT OF MY HANDS AND I HAVE TO SPEED UP OR SLOW DOWN TO STOP THE WOBBLE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND IT SEEMS IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH BOLT OWNERS AND HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED. THE BEARINGS IN THE TRIPLE TREE ARE SUB STANDARD AND THAT IS WHERE THE WOBBLE COMES FROM. THE FIX IS TO INSTALL TAPERED BALL BEARINGS BUT YAMAHA WON'T RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM AND EVERYONE IS FIXING THE BIKE THEMSELVES OUT OF THEIR OWN POCKETS. I FEEL THE MOTORCYCLE IS UNSAFE TO RIDE AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM
SEVERE "DEATH WOBBLE" AT 45 MPH. VERY DANGEROUS AND AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, NEARLY EVERY BOLT OWNER IS REPORTING SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM STEMS FROM THE SUB-STANDARD BEARING USED IN THE TRIPLE TREE, REMEDY IS INSTALLING NEW HIGHER QUALITY TAPERED BEARINGS. YAMAHA HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THIS SITUATION AND RESPONDED BY TELLING RIDERS TO ALWAYS HAVE TWO HANDS ON HANDLEBARS.
