maybe the fuel filters are made outta my ex's hair, and well, some hair brush ***** got in there somehow :P

 

I've only had my '91 a couple of weeks, but I've noticed a vibration problem. My throttle hand goes numb, but the left grip doesn't seem to vibrate. Any ideas?

Whats this fuel filter that you speak of and where can I find one?

<<-seriously has no clue where the fuel filter is hiding and does all my own maintanance

 

on my bike it's inline withthe fuel pump... if you take off the side cowl, you'll see th fuel pump and filter kinda under the framerail and the seat... follow the fuel line from the petcock and you'll find them both

 

Hello
There is no fuel filter and pump on model -89 and forward.
There is only a fuel filter in the fuel tank

 

AAhhh

 

I know that this is an old thread, but I thought I would let you know that I finally got around to re-adjusting the balance shaft on my '91. Most of the vibration is gone.

hahahahaha

hahahahahahaha

This is a funny thread :-)

 

I've heard of this as well. IIRC it's from some additive in the fuel. Something added in the refining process if memory serves me. They almost look like little tiny black ball bearings. I wish I could remember where I saw this posted.... one of the bike forums I'm on. I'll do some more digging.

 

Take it from me I have a 92 model with 78,000 ks on the clock and before adjusting the balancer I had the same problem so with the BIG help from Noe I did it myself and that was last weekend approx 1,000 Kls ago I just did 600 today and most of the time I was sitting on 150 to 160 Ks thats with two up. Got home and oiled the chain, checked the oil level and she is puring like a kitten, also the motor was very responsive after tightening the adjuster
