Great play along guys......

As for Yamalube , it won't hurt a thing , in fact I ran it on the first oil change after the break in period on both my bikes , (dropped the oil at 3600+/-), then switched to full synthetic from there. My 2 cents. BB

Well, I did the oil change tonight to 20/50 from 30w and as I kinda expected it didnt make a differance. The bike is still being top noisey and it vibrates at higher idle. Something is definately wrong in there somewhere, one thing to hear valve and lifters and another to feel the engine vibrate. I am not to crazy about riding it to the dealer so I am in a pickle. I have a spare bike "pictured below" but I dont think I will be robbing parts off it quit yet.


Any comments on what might make the engine this noisy and vibrate? Like to here some thoughts. 1999 roadie 1600.

Not the norm vibration, mine also vibrates a bit when running normal but his is odd. The left clutch grip with actually shake a bit when reving up the motor, never did that b4. I dont want to think abou tit but I am afraid it has something to do with the cylander walls and running to rich might of scratched up the surface causing the piston to rattle a bit and that is not good.I hope I am wrong. In example the motor vibrates as if a bolt or 2 were loose on the mounts.

Maybe one is. After I put my motor back in, I had one loose when I check some time later.
