Hi all. My first post. Is is normal for the fjr1300 steering to shake (handlebars move side to side) if I Take both hands off steering? I know it's not recommended but it happens immediately if I do. I'm pretty sure the demo bike stayed rock solid. I mentioned on 1st service they said they would check to no avail???

I read somewhere that it is typical for the FJR to lean a bit left (maybe that is where the shaft torque went?).
When I got mine, I tried a couple miles no handed on the freeway in cruise (65 MPH). Sure enough, the bike nodded a bit left as I let go, but I was able to correct and lean it any direction around sweeping curves. It still had a tendency to lean a bit left though.
No wobble at all.
One of my older bikes had a terrible head shake and the cause was the front tire.
Now I'm curious to see what happens in the 40+ MPH speed range.
