I noticed a new vibration that starts at around 3200 rpm. It clears up for the most part at about 3900 rpm. This came about after performing my 5000 mile service. I checked all bolts for tight. Also rechecked my primary chain, seeing how i did adjust it a little, tightened it up. When I check my primary chain now it is on the outside of the spec in the service manual. Has anyone else experianced this, and should I loosen the primary chain a little. thanks in advance | ||

From my experience with my tuber, a little loose was better then a little too tight. It would whine at speed when it was too tight, but never noticed a vibration because of it (like you could on a tuber anyway LOL). Hell, how hard is it really to loosen it up just a tad anyway? Something to chew on....... Bruce | ||

Loose is better than tight for that application... | ||

Are you checking the primary chain at multiple spots or just one spot? | ||

Check your exhaust. | ||

My bike does the same thing. I first noticed it sometime after adjusting the primary chain, installing a K&N filter and a XB12 airbox. None of which may be related to the vibration. I've tried several things to stop it, but since it is intermittent, can't be sure. The last time I thought I had fixed it I had tightened the header bolts (they were quite loose). If your vibration is like mine, it seems to be a resonance vibration at about 60-90 cycles per minute. It seems to be more likely to occur with a full tank of gas on my bike. Good luck, Bill | ||

Thanks for the input. I am going to try loosening the primary chain a little. |
