OK, so here's the deal. After 4 long months, I finally picked up my '06 599 (purchased in December with free storage till spring :D ) last Friday. :banana Took her out today, put about 50 miles on. Awesome is all I can say :rad Anyway, while stopped at a friend's house showing her off, I noticed my plate light wiggles up and down a little if you grab it. Does anyone else notice this? I pulled the seat off and looked from behind, and I can just make out the heads of the 2 phillips screws that hold it on. They pass thru rubber isolators, so I'm not sure if a little movement is normal, or maybe the screws are a little loose. I think the whole undertail needs to come down to actually get a screwdriver on them. My friend suggested maybe the undertail is put on at the dealer, as the plate bracket sticks out far enough to warrant a larger crate, and maybe these were not tightened properly. I doubt it, but I figured you guys are my best resource here. Is this normal?

It should wiggle a bit.

I replaced my undertail with a Artfibra tail tidy and the light bracket was loose on mine even though the screws were tight.

+1.. I thought it was defective when I bought the bike, but no, they are just loose like that.

I agree, my license plate light moves a bit as well. I too thought it was loose, but now I know from this posting that it's just the way it is.

yep my 06 moved too but dont use the stock one ne more

My '04 is loose as well.

06, ditto on mine before the undertail got put on.

Hey everyone, thanks for the response! Glad to hear its normal and not a defect. :ride

one more worry put to bed, I was wondering about that the other day.

This site rocks, man I love this place.

:bow

Mine is wobbly too :)
