#130533 Rayjay (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 236 Re:Vibration 2 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Have you tested your bike for intake manifold leaks? I had mounting vibrations when I got my bike used from my BIL. He had no problems and did not clean the K&N filter. Result - SVS and a vibration bad enough to rattle your eyeballs out. I treated the SVS and it runs much better. When engine/air temps fluctuate, it seems to vibrate more or less. I wonder if I still have carbon deposits on the valve stems that act up with certain temps. Has anyone removed the heads to check out SVS and looked at them afterwards? I would like to know how things looked in the heads: valve stems; valve guides; springs; ports; piston heads. I do get vibes that make the bike uncomfortable to ride. I cannot imagine riding for more than an hour at a time, especially in NJ.   Logged     Ray   The administrator has disabled public write access. #130545 Clifford (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 548 Re:Vibration....update. 2 Months, 3 Weeks ago   MidStar07: Do not get locktite any where near your windshield! It is not compatablle with the plastic! It will cause the plastic to crack around the screw holes, and eventually destroy the windshield.

Keeping that mess snug really stops the shakes!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #131202 MidStar07 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 162 Re:Vibration 2 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Rayjay wrote: Have you tested your bike for intake manifold leaks?

Keeping things tight (windshield nuts) improves the situation a lot. But your deal sounds more serious. My bike is pretty much all-day comfortable. I could easily pull 500 mile days on her.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #131997 smith1j (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 26 Re:Vibration 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago   lizotte wrote: If you touch your gas tank or tripple three, minimal vibes. Last year, I replaced Bucks lowers with Wind Wippers with a much better results as far as buffering and vibration. I have Bucks lowers on mine which helped some but if the Wind Wippers work better I would like to try them. Where do I purchase them?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #132003 javawave (User) Over 16801 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 3490 Re:Vibration 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I looked for wind whippers but the numbers listed for them was no longer good. I heard the guy moved back to the mainland and stopped making them. maybe someone will know how to get a hold of him. He was in Hawaii last I knew.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #132022 lizotte (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 2 Re:Vibration 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago   The guy lives in Hawaii, don't sell them no more.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #132075 CoachDan (User) I'm Mechanically Inclined, I Screw Up Everything. Gold Boarder Posts: 637 Re:Vibration 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I'm either going to order a set of these, or make a set. I had to take my HD chrome lowers off when I installed my lower fairings, and now get a lot of buffeting. Quess I had forgotten just how much the chrome HD lowers were helping.

Not only did adjusting my PMS quiet the knocking down by about 50% or more, but the vibration that I was getting that caused me to start this thread is GONE This bike has a mind of its own, and I think I like the way it's thinking.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
