Rear light wobble

[Soap]

Hey all,

Since I have got the bike the rear light seems very loose, I realise it may be on rubber mounts but I'm not sure it is right because there is around a 1cm of play in the light both up and down which makes me very unsure. I've spoke to Yamaha and they told me it's supposed to be like that but they don't have me convinced.

Anyone able to clarify this?

Cheers,
Matt.

Mine is the same way.

Bought mine brand new and the dealer is not lying. It comes that way...it's not going anywhere either.

I am glad you asked this... I had just noticed this on my bike since I put on my TBs and thought something went wrong. :thumbup:

Its the rubber mounts. Nothing is wrong.

+1 on that,try and get the bloody thing out ,lol

Good, I was hoping everyone else's was like this. I thought maybe I was missing a lower mount aside from the 2 upper rubber ones.

I thought I screwed something up when I put on my fender delete kit, glad to hear it is normal.

Oh yes ! Its normal to have a 1cm play, and you guys are right it ain't goin nowhere either. I recently did a tail light changeover to Led and it drove me nuts getting that thing out.:banghead:

my friend riding behind me said my rear wheel was visibly wobbling at speeds below 40mph! is this normal too?!

It's alot of wobble that, despite it being on rubber mounts unless they are like sponges.

One of the guys I ride with mentioned to me that my tail light was wobbling and I wanted to just blow it off thinking it was just the rubber mounts. However, on inspection I found one of the mounting bolts had come out. Moral of the story, check things for missing bolts, then forget about it :Flash:

Yea - either he's seeing things OR your rim is screwed because it shouldn't visibly wobble. Even on cars they shouldn't. Have another person verify this is happening. Sometimes people are mistaken.
