Vibration problem

[footsie]

MY vibraton is intermediate, comes and goes, have changed plugs, no change, I have cut the tube in my mufflers, but they were cut long before the vib started, will try to sync the carbas this week.

The vibration I'm experiencing is not on acceleration, it's a high frequency vibration at cruising speed. Kind of a buzzy feeling.

I had a vibration in my 09 RSV at about 500m..took it to dealer and he found the head space bearing a little loose...tightened it and all is well now...9800m..I noticed it at highway speeds in cruise and a little more noticeable on de-exceleration...Hope this might add to help find the soluation...Carl....Take Care...

Could your tires be out of balance? I put a new rear tire on recently, and put dynabeads in both front and rear tires. I found a noticeable improvement in vibration dampening immediately. I am a believer. Now if I get extended tire life, as advertised, I will be a lifelong customer. Just putting this out there. Good luck figuring out the vibes.

When I test rode a brand new '09, my wife complained of what she called a "buzz" coming through the seat and backrest. I could feel it in the handlebars and the floorboards, also, and it went away when I pulled in the clutch. It was bad enough that it made her nauseous during a 15 minute test ride.

 

We had previously ridden a Tour Deluxe and it was smooth, so we told the sales guy. Another customer happened to pull into the dealer with his Venture, and was kind enough to allow a test ride, which was smooth. The dealer synch'ed the carbs on the '09 and we tested it again the next weekend, but the buzz was still there. A couple of weeks later we test drove an '05 and it was smooth. We just bought our '06 and it's smooth. Since it occurred on a brand new '09, and goes away when the clutch is pulled in, it's something to do with the engine or transmission, not worn out parts or road imperfections.
