Hey what's with the vibration in the right hand grip. My old 92 CBR was smmmmoooth and this 97 has a annoying vibration coming through the right hand grip the left is ok but it also has a vibration, although very mild. any ideas, carby balance maybe?

The carbs are different, but you could also check tire balance, tire pressure, loose motor mounts, and fork binding.

 

and condition of drive chain and sprocket + adjustment of balancer shaft. Correct handlebar-weights?

 

carbie balance can cause vibration but more commonly check the items listed above>

 

Ok just brought her last Wed and rode her back from Canberra to Brisbane (1300k's) the PO had removed the bar end weights and fitted heated grips. At around the 2 hour mark the vibration was just to much to stand so i cut the end of the grips and refitted the weights (there were two sets) i may have fitted the wrong ones???[:@] the vib was reduced to a bearable level and that's how it stayed. So the main chain is a little on the slack side so i'll tighten it tomorrow, the front end looks/feels/seems ok and the engine is sweet and quite> So i was a little mystified, as i had checked the usual spots...so it's over the the "Knowledge"[:-][IMG]/image]

 

Nice colour scheme, I put Gel grips on mine.[sm=smiley20.gif]

 

Hey Karlo is your carry rack a Honda one or aftermarket?? You are so right about the colour scheme, and as for grips, yep I'll be doing some looking around and will fit something a little more comfortable Oh almost forgot, how do you find the touring screen?
