-Take a peak at the subframe. Often times, they crack from seat bouncing. Either close to the bolts or down the rail.
-See what condition the bolts (torx) holding the subframe are in. My subframe wouldn't stay tight. Lift the bike via the grab bar a few times to make sure the subframe is tight.
-Check the oil to see if it is fresh or burn looking. The con rod bearings suck in yamahas so fresh oil is key.
-Check the upper a-arms for play. The bushing wear out but are only $16 to replace all of them.
