What 2012 Yamaha FZ8 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The motorcycle was wobbly going down a straight, hard to turn also. Found out the relay arms were bent and the control arm were being chipped at from the bent relay arms. Don't know exactly where and when it happened but the motorcycle rode weird on sept 11. This is from normal riding to and from work. If this is not a manufacture defect, I don't know what it is.
