#403896 starman2 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 27 vibration 10 Months ago   Hi Starman here, ive got a question.I have a vibration on my r* mm 1700 05 stock exept pipes70,000 miles.At about 1500 rpms it starts vibrating to the point that I Ican feel it and see it in the windsheild. The w/s vibrates so bad Im looking for it to shake loose and break.No power loss no knocking not as bad at 45 - 70 I dont think it is in the drive line because it does it wheather Im sitting still in neutral or riding any ideas. thanks   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #403897 Erbman02 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3801 Re:vibration 10 Months ago   when was the last time you checked or replace the steering head bearings?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #403900 TampaSVT (User) Life is hard.

Maybe your idle is lower than it used to be?

Moderator Posts: 12511 Re:vibration 10 Months ago   Give a good hard seafoam treatment deposits are building up and causing out of balance. At 1500 rpm my 05 and 07 vibrate the worst also. That is an RPM the engine doesn't like. If you keep it around 2000 to 2500 the engine is happy.   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/07/26 21:26 By Curt.   My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #404039 scottw (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1608 Re:vibration 10 Months ago   starman2 wrote: Hi Starman here, ive got a question.I have a vibration on my r* mm 1700 05 stock exept pipes70,000 miles.At about 1500 rpms it starts vibrating to the point that I Ican feel it and see it in the windsheild.

As was already suggested by Curt these motors dont like to normally be run/cruised below 2k rpm and 1500rpm is lugging it too much. Never hurt to give it a shot of seafoam as was also suggested but try satying at 2k rpm at a mnimum when and i bet all will be just fine.

They did it so that they could get the motah to sound & feel more like a Hawley! You like sound roadstahr make? Then you live with vibration! You make good powah? You no worry bout it! This is the nature of the beast within the R* engine. It's NORMAL!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #404076 davej (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4199 Re:vibration 10 Months ago   hardone2get wrote: Well according to what I read here you say it's the same "When Sitting Still in Neutral" or "While Riding" Let's ask the yamaha factory why they didn't counta balance the flywheels?

Gold Boarder Posts: 785 Re:vibration 10 Months ago   Also, I can say this: if the pipes you have weren't put on loosely (all brackets, connections, etc), and then tightened, you will get massive transference of vibration from the engine to the frame. The PO of my bike did that with the speedstars I have on. I loosened them, and re-tightened and it cut back the vibration in my floorboards significantly, as well as switching to synthetic 20-50. prior to doing those things, my floorboards were like a foot massager.   Logged     Feel free to PM me and call my attention to any detailing or electronics questions!
