Hello,
A while ago I asked about a strange vibration that appeared through the foot peg at 4000rpm and came on suddenly like a light switch.
Thank you all for your suggestions as to what was the cause.
The vibe has disapeared after I pulled the rear wheel apart and found no problems and tightened every thing else. I still thing it had something to do with the primary or drive chain, but I don't know.
Anyway it's gone.
The bike runs well and is quite smooth apart from a handle bar vibration at 3800 rpm and higher. It's not uncomfortable on rides around a couple of hundred kms or miles but does get tiring on longer rides.
I've tried loostening and tightening the front and rear isolastics and thightening and loosening the head steady but it seems the best I can get it is to have the isos 1/2 to 2 holes backed off from tight.
And the head steady about 3/8 inch off tightest.
The bars are fairly thin wall UK style bars which are a lot thinner wall that the Western bars that were on the bike when I bought it, but they were bent and I didn't ride with them.
I've fitted Throttlemiester cruise control which are like bar end weights which I thought may help dull the vibes a bit but they had little effect.
Any suggestions?
Regards Graeme
