FZ-09 Speed Wobble Issues

Question

Is anyone else having speed wobble issues on a 2014 FZ09? If so which steering stabilizer/dampener is best?

Robert Geissinger: I have seriously only encountered speed wobble when I’m hard on the throttle in 3rd gear at about 90 mph because it’s trying to lift the front end. I’ve had this bike at 150 with no wobble. Sounds like it could even be an unbalanced front wheel. Like others had mentioned, check your tire pressure and ease up on the grips

    Don’t hold onto the bars so hard and balance your tires/check psi

    Speed wobbles are completely different for everyone. I hit top speed all the time with none. Buddy of mine with the same bike does anything over 100 and gets them.

    I had bad wobbles when I first got my FZ09 at a 100 mph. A buddy of mine, took it out to help me figure out was going on. He got it up to 130 no problems. It turns out I was holding the grips to tight. Loose the death grip. Slightly push forward and barely hold the grips. See if thgat works. Also, have a buddy take it out and see if he wobbles it. It could be stabilizer is needed also.

    Stop the death grip and lean forward.

    Ease up on your grip, throttle control and check your tires. Also, consider how you place your weight at that speed.

    Mine started doing this after its 600 miles maintenance. I had no problems before. 2 things changed after that maintenance : tire pressure was checked and a winshield was put on. I ll start by playin with the front tire prsssure and if its not the problem then windshield it is

    My steering nut on the top of the tree fell off. Was wondering why I was wobbling. Check yours and make sure it’s tight.
