question for the f3 folks while cruzing say 35 and up i can feel a vibration coming from the motor.
when i pull my clutch ina little bit just befor it slips the vibration goes away i had my tires re ballanced replaced chain and sprokets oil change ect.. im wondering if its clutch time or motor is going south
i have gone through the manual but no luck yet any imput would be great
thanks in advance!!

 

what gear are you in?
also do you have the bar ends on. I've heard that without them you can geel a lot more vibration.

 

Maybe a twisted frame? I've seen people check them (on the net and TV), but I honestly wouldn't know how to go about doing it.

If it's coming from the engine area (underneath you), I would say a twisted frame or broken motor mount/s...

Good luck, that sucks.

 

When your going at this 35mph just let go of the bars...if they start to wabble then you should check out your front end. I am missing a bar end and I can't tell any diffrence, but I "do" have bent rotors and that will make my bars tank slap when I let go. Just look at your calapers when your going and see if theyr moving in and out or not.

 

i do have bar ends i took them off just to try to see if somthing changes i picked up a little more vibration
but nothing to write home about as for speed and gear it dosnt matter the same issues are still there
the bike has never layed down so i dont know about the bent frame thing and thanks kid i didnt think about the motor mount thing i just checked andtheir ok so still scratching my head in this one
thanks for the imput guys!!

 

carbs may need balancing mate?

 

Did you try the riding with no hands at 35MPH? Check that,

Also is it a violant vibration? or just a small vibration? Is it affecting your cornering or affecting going straight?

 

thanks for all the help as it turns out i needed a new clutch at 19500 miles thought it would last a little longer than that but hey its cheap and easy to fix the new clutch is in now and no more vibes
thanks all.....

 

The hands off approach, I've had a slight wobble with my bike with hands off bars from new, yet no problems with handling at all. wobble with hands off bars can be anything from fork & rear suspension adustment, tyre balance & tyre wear & steering head bearings.
