    Also please share pics if someone already did.
    Brush guards are a possibility, engine cowl may not be so, it may be needed to weld support for fasteners to hold the cowl on to the frame.

    I am facing a problem with my FZ25. At speeds above 50, I find that the front wobble quite a bit. It is especially evident when I take both hands off the handlebar and you can see quite a violent shake. Due to this, I was hesitant to go very fast on my last trip and restricted myself to a speed of 80-90.

    I had just got it serviced and took it to the service centre again. He said that the brake disc (which was replaced just a month ago) is bent and that could be causing it. It didnt seem logical to me. The reason I changed the disk was because of a pulsating feeling when I applied the brakes which could be due to a bend.

    Any thoughts on what it can be? I'll look through the thread also for past experiences of this wobbling to see if others have also faced this
    The steering bearing set may need replacement, it appears.

    Have the front wheel checked, could have minor bent and that also results in wobble.

    zmr had a very comfortable seating, which this bike lacks; i felt suspension on zmr was more comfortable than fzs, and that was also longer...so that was definitely comfortable....this one, lacks in all these dept (in my opinion); however, this has better tyres and breaking feels more planted and more in control. i haven't taken it on highway, so my comparison is so far with city conditions only........+ point in this is, it is easy to move around in city and i don't feel any heating issues like i used to with zmr.....also, although this engine is better than zmr's but the smoothness i felt was a lot more on it than this one.....it is also shorter in length, so that could also contribute to above factors in comfort dept...

    You can have the FZ suspension adjusted to the softer side. Besides, the stock setup is soft for sharp cornering and city riding.

    Thanks for your nice suggestion!
