Any Fix?
Did you get a fix or diagnosis from a dealer, or is there a recommended Yamaha Factory Tech fix and or diagnosis for this?

Under what circumstances did it occure ?
Loaded ? Speed ? I've had a couple of serious "brown trouser" tank slappers in the past on different bikes but luckilly they sorted themselves out and didn't spit me off. One was coming down from a rather good wheelie. The other was when I had both hands off the bars and the front wheel started to shimmy then went lock to lock. The first one was pilot error, the second was caused by an out of balance front wheel.

But BYT - VonnieV is being a smartass by posting this (first post, same day he subscribes is the first tipoff), so I was just being a smartass in return, not that I expected to get into a discussion of tankslappers.

well I don't know you, and wouldn't dare call you a slow brained idiot without meeting you first, but I'm pretty sure VonnieV is trolling this here HUBB.

Is that the same as "having" a slapper on the tank ?
