I don't know. I've got a noticable vibration and can't figure out why or where it is coming from.

Just drilled out the baffles. Its not running rough. Its just been noticable the past couple of months. when I ride my hands go numb and so do my feet. I can really feel it through my shoes at idle and I can't figure out why or where its coming from.

Wheel out of balance? Maybe you threw your clamp weight.

I thought about that too but that wouldn't explain why I can feel it at idle sitting still.
