#207764 fourwheeler1 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 31 How much is to Much? 2 Years, 7 Months ago   Does anybody notice engine vibration that is excessive? Is it the nature of the beast or what? I have a 1700 R*, 2006. I bought iy new and have 9000 miles on it now. I put on a corbin dual touring seat this winter and also new metzlers. Could I just be noticing it more because of corbin seat because of less padding in the seat. I'm thinking of switching to an Ultimate seat package. Test drove a Honda VTX 1300 yesterday and it did not have the engine vibration. But it is no R* when it comes to power and performance. Any ideas anyone?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #207767 Jade68454 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1236 Re:How much is to Much? 2 Years, 7 Months ago   these shake and vibrate quite a bit i was doing about 100 last night and hell if i had fillings they would have shaken loose lol   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #207769 Gram (Admin) Been there, wrecked that. Admin Posts: 4193 Re:How much is to Much? 2 Years, 7 Months ago   The single pin crank of Roadies leads to a lot of vibration. Harleys have the same problem, but they use rubber engine mounts to dampen the vibration. Roadies don't. Tuning can affect this problem, as can your exhaust. Two into one exhaust will help smooth things out, drags make it worse. If your tuning is dead on and finds the best balance between the needs of the rear cylinder and the front that will help too. But nothing will totally get rid of it.

I tried one on for less than 10 minutes and absolutely hated it. Why? The vibration went right up my spine due to that seat. Put the original right back on, vibration issue solved. If you still have the original seat, just do a quick swap and see if that isn't it.   Logged     Sig pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #207853 vegasdave (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1079 Re:How much is to Much? 2 Years, 7 Months ago   23,500 never noticed any vibration that matters on mine   Logged     If Your Not Moving Forwards,Your Moving Backwards Live To Ride,Ride To Live 06 Road Star Candy Red SMOKIN!!!!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #207856 Darn (User) Don't forget, Never forget.

Or maybe it was just the Ultimate seats??   Logged     Free, personalized tra   The administrator has disabled public write access. #207898 JosephEHabermann (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 17 Re:How much is to Much? 2 Years, 7 Months ago   Try to remember you are sitting on an engine as large as some small automobiles and have only two cylinders, not four, to smooth things out. All of the things mentioned above have merit.   Logged     If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #207918 bushrjackson (User) she's pretty EH? Gold Boarder Posts: 608 Re:How much is to Much? 2 Years, 7 Months ago   I have the same year, same seat and the same tires. I used to complain about the vibes on the grips until I put Kury's on. I've have a Corbin solo which passes the vibes thru to my ass but not the dual. I'm not sure what you rode before but this is a tank. not much help eh??   Logged     2006, 3\\\\\\\" HK rez tec\\\\\\\'s   The administrator has disabled public write access. #207919 Greysnake (User) I'm so far behind I think I'm first.
