Out of alignment.

[danieljardim]

I don't know if it's me or if it's normal. Everytime I ride. I look at the ignition cylinder and to flat part on top of it doesn't seem to be aligned with center of cluster.

It's off about 1mm, but I'm just to anal and is driving me crazy. I tried to take a picture but I don't think will do justice to it.

Should I bring to the dealer and let them re align the fairings?

I think that you are being a bit anal....I wouldn't worry about it, everything is fine. The dealer will most likely laugh at you for bringing it in for that.

:rof: I know that !!!! The problem when I ride is driving me freaking crazy... hahahahah. I think my whole bike is out of alignment.

I really do think it's your eyes playing tricks on you. Tire pressure can play tricks on you too. Do you notice it only when you are sitting? If it was visually more drastic than I would be worried.

Yea... it's plastic... You'll never get a perfect fit with parts like that. I am the same way about things, but I understand that there's no way all the plastics will line up perfectly with the way they are done on our bike. I would expect differently at a premium price point (Ducati, BMW etc)

Get over it.

It's maybe 1mm worst when moving. so would make 2 mm off. more noticeable. maybe is the way I'm riding and not holding handlebars really straight. I don't know.

:facepalm:

 

[danieljardim]

Get over it.

Trying too :thumbup:

Why do I have to wait 30 seconds to post? I think CC has something to do with that so nobody beat him on the post count.

Well, if it is worrying you while you are riding, perhaps you should not be looking at that while you're riding....perhaps look at the road...

I know that, the problem is that Im constantly looking at my speedometer due to my commute has a lot of long 25mph school zone roads and also a lot of cops hiding behind bushes and buildings waiting to nail you a ticket.

I don't know what to suggest, clearly it is catching your eye....maybe find something else to catch your eye?

Maybe if I have that bikini riding girl right in front of me I wouldn't worry about the speedometer. :leghump::wav::jawdrop::drool:

It's probably just that your fairing brackets are off a bit. Give your fairing a bit of a hip check on the right side and see what happens.

I have the same problem with mine and it doesn't bother me while riding at all... BUT it does IRRITATE THE HECK OUT OF ME whenever I'm giving my bike a nice wash down or simply standing next to it admiring it.

Fairing has been crooked for almost 2 years now and I had almost forgotten (stopped carrying) about it until you guys mentioned it... thanks! lol.

I've got a slighty larger clearance between the cowl and the gas tank on the right compared to the left. And like you the "gap" is slightly larger on the right. It's been said before but motorcycles aren't the same on both sides. They have to work all the needed parts into the bike somehow, sometimes concentric design has to give way to mechanical necessaties.

I don’t know that that piece of plastic was meant to be perfectly symmetrical and even if it was it could be installed 1mm off. Dude let it go

 

[nismos14]

I don't think that's anal, I think it's obsessive compulsive.

 

[Blue-Sun]

Are the two areas in question supposed to be symetrical?? I took a picture of mine and it appears the right side is accomodating more control cables, etc. and more of the head plate is cut out to make room with the extra items.

 

[nismos14]

If you angle your bike just right it will probably look equal.

All i have to say,, is,, WOW

Are you an Engineer?? If no, dont worry, if you are dont look at it!
