I got my old exhaust, cat and hardware with the exup cables.

I got some from Amazon and where easy to install and look pretty good. 40$

I've never had to replace rotors before on any of my bikes. So I was real hesitant on them, I even checked and re torqued my steer ahead bearing. I like EBC but taking the front wheel off I wanted to be sure I was going back on with OEM just to be extra sure.

I didn't get them miked. But the EBC were around 400 and some China brand was about 200. I like to keep parts OEM on the really important stuff. I guess they where warped. I just couldn't believe it based on symptoms. But proof is in the pudding.

Updating the thread, after trying to clean the rotor buttons the right way and the wrong way (bolt through the center spinning it with an impact gun) I finally decided to get new rotors and there is no more vibrations. Sucks cause yamaha rotors are like $500.

Was yours only vibrating while braking? Riding is smooth as anything just only the front brakes above 60mph, like 58mph smooth brakes, 60 plus it vibrates.

Cleaned and lubed all buttons, cleaned and lubed slide pins for the pads. Still only vibrates above 60.

I'll clean them up and let you know if it is better. Thanks for the replies.

Just got a 2009 2nd gen, and the front shakes when braking above 60mph. I don't think it is the rotors because under 60mph it is smooth regardless of pressure applied. Was wondering if it is typical of the ABS system. I've owned 2 other bikes with abs and they didn't do this.

Got my plugs in before the coils so I went ahead and replaced them and its running tip top. There was some rust around the metal seal so I guess it wasn't grounding 100%. Thanks for all the input.

Thanks for the responses, I just ordered plugs and coils, gonna try and knock it out Monday and will update when I'm done. Also will check my local dealer about the recalls

I don't get any codes from putting it in diag mode

I was messing around and unplugged the coils 1 by 1 and found that the back right cylinder didn't change the engine tone. So what ever is going on is in the back right cylinder. I have no clue about if any recalls have been done to it. Would they still honor them given the year and miles?

Just bought a 09 Vmax 1700 with 18k miles 2 months ago. Started running rough recently with no check engine light. Its all stock. Smells like its running rich thinking might be a coil. Wondering what you guys think or done with similar issues.
